Jim Reeves - Billy Bayou Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Back about eighteen hundred and some,
  • A Louisiana couple had a red-headed son.
  • No name suited him; Jim, Jack or Joe,
  • So they just called him Billy Bayou.
  • Billy, Billy Bayou, watch where you go,
  • If you're walkin' on quicksand, 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 his size,
  • Red hair, 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, watch where you go,
  • If you're walkin' on quicksand, walk slow.
  • Billy, Billy Bayou, watch what you say,
  • A pretty girl'll get you one of these days.
  • One sad day Billy cried "Ho Ho!
  • "I can lick the feathers off of Gee-ron-imo."
  • He started off, the chief got mad,
  • This nearly ended our Louisiana lad.
  • Billy, Billy Bayou, watch where you go,
  • If you're walkin' on quicksand, walk slow.
  • Billy, Billy Bayou, watch what you say,
  • A pretty girl'll get you one of these days.
  • One day in eighteen seventy-eight,
  • A pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate.
  • He didn't know whether to stand there, or run,
  • He wound up married cuz he didn't either one.
  • Billy, Billy Bayou, watch where you go,
  • If you're walkin' on quicksand, walk slow.
  • Billy, Billy Bayou, watch what you say,
  • A pretty girl'll get you one of these days.
  • A pretty girl'll get you one of these days.
