Billy Bayou lyrics
Back about eighteen hundred and some
A Louisiana couple had a red headed son No name soothe him Jim, Jack or Joe They just called him Billy Bayou. Billy, Billy Bayou, watch where you go You're walkin' on quick sand and walk slow Billy, Billy Bayou, watch what you say A pretty girl'll get you one of these days. --- Instrumental --- Billy was a boy, kinda big for a size Red hair and freckles and big blue eyes Thirteen years from the day he was born Bill fought the battle of the Little Big Horn. Billy, Billy Bayou, watch where you go You're walkin' on quick sand and walk slow Billy, Billy Bayou, watch what you say A pretty girl'll get you one of these days. --- Instrumental --- One sad day Billy cried, hoho I can whip the feathers of Geronimo He smarted off, the chief got mad This nearly ended our Louisiana lad. Billy, Billy Bayou, watch where you go You're walkin' on quick sand and walk slow Billy, Billy Bayou, watch what you say A pretty girl'll get you one of these days. --- Instrumental --- One day in 1878 a pretty girl Walked through Billy's front gate He didn't know whether to stand there or run He would up married cause he did neighter one. Billy, Billy Bayou, watch where you go You're walkin' on quick sand and walk slow Billy, Billy Bayou, watch what you say A pretty girl'll get you one of these days. A pretty girl'll get you one of these days...
