William Brown - Randy Newman

Miscellaneous

William Brown

William Brown, a tobacco man

Left North Carolina when he sold his land

He took a train to Omaha

Stayed there with some friends he had

And he didn’t mind the dust

And he didn’t mind the wind

And he didn’t mind the cold

And he didn’t miss home

And he liked the people

And he liked the town

So he built himself a house beside the river

And he sent for his children

And he sent for his cars

And he bought himself a little business that would run itself

And he didn’t mind the dust

And he didn’t mind the wind

And he didn’t mind the cold

And he didn’t miss home
