Widow Wimberly - Tony Joe White

Widow Wimberly how will you manage now?

Widow Wimberly you’ve got to get by somehow

All your childrens have married off

And there’s a grandchild you’ve never seen

And all your other kinfolks have moved away too

And mister Wimberly died last spring, yes he did

Widow Wimberly how do you still manage to smile?

Widow Wimberly I like to stop and talk with you a while

You ain’t got no one to chop your wood

No one to mend your fence

If you had the money you could hire some help

But it is hard to even pay your rent, yes it is

La la Lord

Widow Wimberly how do you still manage to smile?

Widow Wimberly I like to stop and learn from you a while
