CBack about eighteen hundred and some
A Louisiana couple had a G7red-headed Cson
No name suited him, Jim, Jack or Joe
So they just called him G7Billy BayCou
CHORUS:
FBilly Billy Bayou Cwatch where you go
If you're G7walkin' on quicksand, Cwalk slow
FBilly Billy Bayou Cwatch what you say
A G7pretty girl'll get you Cone of these days
A G7pretty girl'll get you Cone of these days
Billy was a boy kinda big for his size
Had red hair, freckles and big blue eyes
Thirteen years from the day he was born
Billy fought the battle of the Little Big Horn
CHORUS...
One fine day Billy cried "HO HO"
I can lick the feathers off of Gee-ron-imo
He started off, the chief got mad
This nearly ended our Louisiana lad
CHORUS...
One day in eighteen seventy-eight
A pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate
He didn't know whether to stand there or run
He wound up married cuz he didn't either one
