Charley Pride - Billy Bayou lyrics
[Charley Pride - 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
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 Billy
Fought the battle of the Little Big Horn
Billy Billy Bayou
One said day Billy cried ho-ho I
Can whip the feathers of Geronimo
He smarted off the chief got mad
This nearly ended our Louisiana lad
Billy Billy Bayou
One day in eighteen-seventy-eight
A pretty girl
Walked through Bill's front gate
He didn't know whether to
Stand there and run
He would up married cause he did neither one
Billy Billy Bayou
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
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
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 Billy
Fought the battle of the Little Big Horn
Billy Billy Bayou
One said day Billy cried ho-ho I
Can whip the feathers of Geronimo
He smarted off the chief got mad
This nearly ended our Louisiana lad
Billy Billy Bayou
One day in eighteen-seventy-eight
A pretty girl
Walked through Bill's front gate
He didn't know whether to
Stand there and run
He would up married cause he did neither one
Billy Billy Bayou
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
