"Weeping Willows" is one of the handful of melodies that Chaplin put his own words to. You can hear Chaplin himself singing a few bars of the song in A King in New York, but the song is used in the film primarily a an instrumental. It is one of Chaplin's finest hours as a composer and particularly a lyricist, yet it remains virtually unknown.
Here are Chaplin's words to Weeping Willows:
I've got the weeping willows And I'm stepping thro' plate windows On account of you Oh my Lord What shall I do? What shall I do? I love you so and yet I know you can't be true If I only had the will to get away But you have me in a spell both night and day You have me in your power Ev'ry moment, ev'ry hour Leave me now or let me go Why, oh why torment me so? I despise you, idolise you, adore you, I implore you Let me be free From this tyranny Of love I'm stepping thro' plate windows over you
