Willie Roy

Key of G

Open in Bluegrass Book: transpose, play along

Verse

His age is seven years today
He don’t know what it is to play
Each night before he goes to bed
This little prayer he always says

Verse

Now I lay me down to rest
Please God please give me happiness
I’m prayin’ so my dreams come true
So I can walk and play with you

Verse

His name they call him Willie Roy
He’s just a little crippled boy
But now the tears roll down his cheek
I rub them off so he can sleep

Verse

Someday I hope you can go out
And play with me and walk about
I won’t scold you if you should cry
So son be good my son good night
