  • Pre>g
  • Billie sol was a man
  • C g
  • From the giant texas land
  • D7
  • He put the chamber of commerce on a limb
  • G
  • They voted him the best
  • C g
  • And the government did no less
  • D7 g
  • Until the i.o.u.s of texas fell on him
  • C g
  • Stand tall, billie sol, we dont know you at all
  • D7
  • Weve taken down your pictures from the wall
  • G c
  • Well, we dont want to handle an agriculture scandal
  • G d7 g
  • We have got to face elections in the fall
  • I remember when
  • Bill had influential friends
  • He celebrated christmas every day
  • He filled texas banks with his fertilizer tanks
  • Influential friends dont die they only fade away
  • Stand tall, billie sol, we dont know you at all
  • Weve taken down your pictures from the wall
  • Well, we dont want to handle an agriculture scandal
  • We have got to face elections in the fall
  • The democrats deny
  • And orville freeman sighs
  • He said everyone around was fair and square
  • But he was no more convincing
  • Than ezra taft benson
  • As resignations cropped up everywhere
  • Stand tall, billie sol, we dont know you at all
  • Weve taken down your pictures from the wall
  • Well, we dont want to handle an agriculture scandal
  • We have got to face elections in the fall
  • And now Id like to say
  • That crime sure doesnt pay
  • But if you want to make some money on the sly
  • Well you can always rent
  • The u.s. government
  • Its the best one that money can buy.
  • Stand tall, billie sol
  • We dont know you at all
  • Weve take down your pictures from the wall
  • Well, we dont want to handle
  • And agriculture scandal
  • We have got to face elections in the fall
