Intro:     

                   
Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca
                           
They knew that they loved one another
                          
Gonna have a real good time
 
No more sad bad times
                          
It's all they've been waiting for
                     
Someone to knock at that door

                         
Willie was shot once in his mind
                       
And his cry out saved his own life
                          
The second time was through his heart
    
The doctors pulled the bullet from inside
                     
He had a job to do he said

That's his way of life

                    
Please don't bring him down
                  
Please don't let him go
                      
He's on the same side as you
                                 
He's just a little behind

                                
I tell you there are some people living alone
                                   
I tell you there are some people with nowhere to go
                             
There are some people who don't believe in love
                                  
But Willie and Rebecca prove 'em all wrong

                          
A man named John wrote a song for me to sing
                                  
And the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen
            
He is a very good man
                                           
And he has been an even very good man to me
                          
I hope one day his song I will sing
                    
Another love I still love
         
Familiar face to me
               
A standing arch above my heart
           
I've never been to reach
                     
He's laid my head on the bed
    
And told me sweetly I am not
                  
Crazy like all the others said
                               
No he's not crazy like me

                   
Please don't bring me down
                 
Please don't let me go
             
My heart is a worried thing
                                           
Memories have now planted seeds of a field I now
                 
Want to reap and sow
               
I'm on the same side as you
                            
I'm just a little behind
