Willie's Winter Love

(Merle Haggard)



I know I'm only Willie's winter love

He only seems to meet me just now and then

I know I'm only Willie's winter love

But he's mine alone till springtime comes again.



When springtime comes I know he'll be leaving

When his good time friends start calling him to town

So I'll live and wait for Willie's winter season

When his trouble moments bring him back around.



I know I'm only Willie's winter love

He only seems to meet me just now and then

I know I'm only Willie's winter love

But he's mine alone till springtime comes again.



When Willie's painted world turnes cold and stormy

It's then he finds the need to come around

To these arms of mine Lord knows they're always waitin'

But he'll leave again when love toss winter's ground.



I know I'm only Willie's winter love

He only seems to meet me just now and then

I know I'm only Willie's winter love

But he's mine alone till springtime comes again...
