Clifton Hicks - Will the Weaver
Banjo Heritage 👉 https://patreon.com/CliftonHicks
I learned "Will the Weaver" from a 1920s recording of Charlie Parker & Mack Woolbright. My instrument is an 1888 Cubley banjo tuned ~ gDGBD.
"Son O son go home and love her
Do not find no fault above her,
But if she will not do well,
Pick up a stick and beat her well!"
He went home and a friend she met him
Thus she said but just to fret him
"Saw your wife a while ago
Along with Will the Weaver O!"
He went home in a devil of a wonder
Knocked at the door just like thunder,
"Who is that?" the Weaver cried
"That's my husband you'd better hide!"
Up the chimney Willie badgered
Through the door her husband entered,
Searching all the while around,
But not a soul could be found!
He sat down by the fireside weeping
Up the chimney got to peeping,
There he spied the wretched soul
Sitting on the pot-rack pole!
He put on a pretty good fire
Just to suit his own desire,
Wife cried out of her own free will
"Don't do that for the man you'll kill!"
He put on a little more fuel
Wife cried out, "My love I beg you,
Take him down and spare his life
If you want me to be your loving wife!
He reached up and down he took him
Like a raccoon dog he shook him,
Wore him white and beat him red
Made poor Weaver wished he's dead!
He went home and his wife she met him
Up with a stick and down she set him,
Wore him red and beat him blue
Every word of this is true!
