Bob Dylan - Billy 4 Lyrics
Theres guns across the river about to pound youTheres a lawman on your trail like to surround youBounty hunters are dancing all around youBilly, they dont like you to be so free.Camping out all night on the verandaWalking in the streets down by the haciendaUp to boot hill the like to send youBilly, dont you turn your back on me.Theres mills inside the minds of crazy facesBullet holes and rifles in their casesThere is always one more notch in four more acesBilly, and youre playing all alone.Playing around with some sweet signoritaInto her dark chamber she will greet youIn the shadows of the maizes she will lead youBilly, and youre going all alone.They say that pat garretts got your numberSo sleep with one eye open, when you wanderEvery little sound just might be thunderThunder from the barrel of his gun.Theres always another stranger sneaking glancesSome trigger-happy fool willing to take chancesSome old whore from san pedroll make advancesAdvances on your spirit and your soul.The businessmen from taos want you to go downSo theyve hired mister garrett, hell force you to slow downBilly, dont let it make you feel so low downTo be hunted by the man who was your friend.So hang on to your woman, if you got oneRemember in el paso once you shot oneIll be in santa fe about oneBilly, youve been running for so long.Gypsy queens will play your grand finaleWay down in some tularosa alleyMaybe in la rio pecas valleyBilly, youre so far away from homeBilly, youre so far away from home
