Ah, Widow Wimberly, how do you still manage to smile?
Ah, Widow Wimberly, I like to stop and talk with you a while
All your children are married off
And there’s a grandchild you’ve never seen
Oh girl, you must be lonesome
And Mr. Wimberly died last spring
Yes he did

Ah, Widow Wimberly

You got nobody to mend your fence
And no one to chop your wood
If you had the money, you could hire some help
But it’s hard to even pay the rent, yes it is

Ah, Widow Wimberly, how do you still manage to smile?
Ah, Widow Wimberly, I like to stop and talk with you a while
All your children are married off
And there’s a grandchild you’ve never seen
Oh girl, you must be lonesome
And Mr. Wimberly died last spring
Yes he did

Ah, Widow Wimberly
