[Chorus 1]
Ah, widow Wimberly
How do you still manage to smile?
Ah, widow Wimberly
I'd like to stop and talk with you for a while

[Verse 1]
All your children are married off
And there's a grandchild you've never seen
Okay, you must be lonesome
And mister Wimberly, ah, died last spring
Yes, he did

[Chorus 2]
Ah, widow Wimberly
Ba-da-dad, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ah, widow Wimberly
Ba-da-dad, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

[Verse 2]
You got nobody to mend your fence
And no one to chop up your wood
If you had the money you could hire some help
But it is hard to even pay the rent
Yes, it is
[Chorus 1]
Ah, widow Wimberly
How do you still manage to smile?
Ah, widow Wimberly
I'd like to stop and talk with you for a while

[Verse 3]
All your children are married off
And there's a grandchild you've never seen
Ah, you must be lonesome
And mister Wimberly, ah, died last spring

[Chorus 2]
Ah, widow Wimberly
Ba-da-dad, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ah, widow Wimberly
Ba-da-dad, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

[Outro: Scat]
