[Verse 1]
Sometimes I think about a girl back home
And the twelve mile road there we used to roam
Sometimes I think about a girl named Willie Jean
Did she ever get as far as New Orleans?
Mm-hmm

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I think about the people there
And I wonder if they still have, have their County Fair
Sometimes I think about a girl named Willie Jean
Did she ever gеt as far as New Orleans?
Mm-hmm

[Verse 3]
We usеd to watch a train from a grassy bank
Get drink hot water from a railway fillin' tank
Sometimes I think about a girl named Willie Jean
Did she ever get as far as New Orleans?
Mm-hmm

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Sometimes I think about a girl back home
And the twelve mile road there we used to roam
Sometimes I think about a girl named Willie Jean
Did she ever get as far as
As far as New Orleans?
