Billy Bayou

In the style of

Jim Reeves

Lyrics

back about eighteen
hundred and some
a louisiana couple
had a redheaded son

no name suited him
jim jack or joe
they just called him
billy bayou

billy billy bayou
watch where you go
you're walkin' on
quicksand walk slow
billy billy bayou
watch what you say
a pretty girl'll get
you one of these days

billy was a boy
kinda big for his 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
quicksand walk slow
billy billy bayou
watch what you say
a pretty girl'll get
you one of these days

one sad day
billy cried ho ho
i can whip
the feathers off-a
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
quicksand walk slow
billy billy bayou
watch what you say
a pretty girl'll get
you one of these days

one day in 1878
a pretty girl walked
through bill's
front gate

he didn't know
whether to stand
there or run
he wound up married
'cause he did
neither one

billy billy bayou
watch where you go
you're walkin' on
quicksand walk slow

billy billy bayou
watch what you say
a pretty girl'll get
you one of these days
pretty girl'll get you
one of these days
