Текст Jim Reeves – Billy Bayou
Текст:
Back about eighteen hundred some
A Louisian couple hade
A redheaded son no name suited him the Jim Jack or Joe
They just called him Billy Bayou.
Chorus
Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go your walking on quicksand walk slow.
Billy Billy Bayou what what you say
A pretty girl will get you one of these days.
Bill was big for his size
red hair and freckles and big blue eyes
thirteen years form the day he was born
he fought the battle of the little big horn
Chorus
One sad day billy sad cried ho! ho!
I can whip the fathers of Geronmino
He got smart the cheif got mad
this nearly ended our Louisiana lad
Chorus
one day in eighteen-sevenyeight
A pretty girl’ll walked up to Bill’s front
He didn’t know whether to stand or run
he wound up marred cause he did eather one
Chorus
Pretty girl’ll will get you one of these days
