Widow Wimberly how will you manage now?
Widow Wimberly you've got to get by somehow
All your childrens have married off
And there's a grandchild you've never seen
And all your other kinfolks have moved away too
And mister Wimberly died last spring, yes he did
Widow Wimberly how do you still manage to smile?
Widow Wimberly I like to stop and talk with you a while
You ain't got no one to chop your wood
No one to mend your fence
If you had the money you could hire some help
But it is hard to even pay your rent, yes it is
La la Lord
Widow Wimberly how do you still manage to smile?
Widow Wimberly I like to stop and learn from you a while
