Back about eighteen hundred and some

No name suited him Jim Jack or Joe
G7C
They just called him Billy Bayou
FC
Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go
G7C
You're walking on quick sand and walk slow
FC
Billy Billy Bayou watch what you say
G7C
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
Billy was a boy kinda big for his size
G7C
Red hair and freckles and big blue eyes
Thirteen years from the day he was born
G7C
Bill fought the battles of the Little Big Horn
Repeat #2
One sad day Billy cried ho-ho
G7C
I can whip the feathers of Geronimo
He smarted off the chief got mad
G7C
This nearly ended our Louisiana lad
Repeat #2
One day in eighteen seventy eight
G7C
A pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate
He didn't know whether to stand there and run
G7C
He wound up married cause he did neither one
Repeat #2
