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...

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...
