Dropkick Murphys - Billy's Bones lyrics
[Dropkick Murphys - Billy's Bones lyrics]
Billy ran around with the rare
Old crew and he
Knew an arsenal from Tottenham blue We'd be a
Darn sight better off if
We knew where Billy's
Bones are resting now Billy saw a copper
And he hit him in the knee Took him down
From six foot to five foot three Then
He hit him fair and square in the do-re-me
That copper won't be having any family
Hey Billy son where are you now
Don't you know that we Need
You now With aratata and
The old kow-tow where are
Billy's bones Resting now
Billy went away with the
Peace keeping force 'cause
He Liked a bloddy good fight of
Course Went away in an old khaki van
To the banks of the river Jordan
Billy saw the Arabs and he had'em on
The run when he got'em In the
Range of his sub machine gun Then he
Got the Israelis in his sights
Went ra ta ta And they ran like Shi-ites
Hey Billy Son where are you now, One
Night Billy had a rare old time
Laughing and singing on The Lebanon line
Came back to camp not
Looking too pretty never even got
To see the Holy City
Now Billy's out there in the desert
Sun and his mother cries When
The morning comes And there's mother's
Crying all over the world
For their poor Dead darling
Boys and girls Hey
Billy son where are you now, Born on
A Monday, married on a Tuesday, drunk on
A Wednesday, got plugged on a Thursday, sick
On a Friday, Died on a Saturday
Buried on Sunday
Old crew and he
Knew an arsenal from Tottenham blue We'd be a
Darn sight better off if
We knew where Billy's
Bones are resting now Billy saw a copper
And he hit him in the knee Took him down
From six foot to five foot three Then
He hit him fair and square in the do-re-me
That copper won't be having any family
Hey Billy son where are you now
Don't you know that we Need
You now With aratata and
The old kow-tow where are
Billy's bones Resting now
Billy went away with the
Peace keeping force 'cause
He Liked a bloddy good fight of
Course Went away in an old khaki van
To the banks of the river Jordan
Billy saw the Arabs and he had'em on
The run when he got'em In the
Range of his sub machine gun Then he
Got the Israelis in his sights
Went ra ta ta And they ran like Shi-ites
Hey Billy Son where are you now, One
Night Billy had a rare old time
Laughing and singing on The Lebanon line
Came back to camp not
Looking too pretty never even got
To see the Holy City
Now Billy's out there in the desert
Sun and his mother cries When
The morning comes And there's mother's
Crying all over the world
For their poor Dead darling
Boys and girls Hey
Billy son where are you now, Born on
A Monday, married on a Tuesday, drunk on
A Wednesday, got plugged on a Thursday, sick
On a Friday, Died on a Saturday
Buried on Sunday
