Willie and Lillie used to live on a hill
Wasn`t for rock n` roll Lillie be there still
Rock her own little rock-a-billys
Made me lose a-my sweet, little, Lillie

Forty days, forty nights
Still no Lillie in sight
Up on the mountain like a jack
Hollin` an howlin` `til Lillie, come back
Up on the mountain I was facin` the moon
Ev`ry little star tell me be Lillie, soon

Up on the mountain at the general store
Willie`s mama bought him a hi-fi, his very own
On up the road, Willie strolled
Just about the time Lillie knocked on the do`
She said, `Hello, Willy I love you so`
He said, `Hello, Lillie why did you go?`
She said, `A-hello, Willie I ain`t gon` leave no mo`

He said, `Hello, Lillie I love you, so`
FADES-
`Hello, Willie, I love you, so`
FADES-
He said, a-hello Lillie.
