Sometimes I Think About Lyrics - Mercury Singles 1966-1968 - Blues Magoos

Sometimes I think about old folks back home 

That 12 mile road that I used to roam. 

Sometimes I think about that girl named Willie Jean 

Wondering if she made it down to New Orleans. 

Whenever I think about the folks back there 

You know I wonder if they still have that old county fair. 

Sometimes I think about that girl named Willie Jean 

Wondering if she made it down to New Orleans. 

We used to watch riverboats from a grassy bank 

Drinking hot water from a railroad filling tank. 

Sometimes I think about that girl named Willie Jean 

Wondering if she made it down to New Orleans. 

The folk back there say why you come to harm 

Now here I am sitting here on this county farm. 

Sometimes I think about that girl named Willie Jean 

Wondering if she made it down to New Orleans.
