William was a man that did some walking
He tramped the land, far and wide
He made his home in Old Widow's Grove
And he never gave his love to another
Lay your head down
You can stick around
Or you can go to Old Widow's Grove
And be like William there
William, as a young man
Never could understand
That you gotta reach out & let others in
Or you'll never find much use in nothing
Lay your head down
You can stick around
Or you can go to Old Widow's Grove
And be like William there
Now that William's gotten old
He feels the sun's grown cold
He hides himself in the thickest of clothes
But he feels like a ghost in the folds
Lay your head down
You can stick around
Or you can go to Old Widow's Grove
And be like William there
