Roger Miller - Billy Bayou Lyrics
Back about eighteen hundred and someA louisiana couple had a redheaded sonNo name suited him, jim, jack or joeSo they just called him billy bayouBilly, billy bayou, watch where you goYoure walking on quicksand, walk slowBilly, billy bayou, watch what you sayA pretty girlll get you one of these daysNow bill was a boy kind of big for his size (..kinda big boy size)Red hair and freckles, and big blue eyesThirteen years from the day he was bornBill fought the battle of the little big hornBilly, billy bayou, watch where you goYoure walking on quicksand, walk slowBilly, billy bayou, watch what you sayA pretty girlll get you one of these daysNow one sad day billy cried ho! ho!I whipped the feathers off of geronimo (I could whip..)He smarted off, the chief got madThis like to ended our louisiana lad (that likely ended..)Billy, billy bayou, watch where you goYoure walking on quicksand, walk slowBilly, billy bayou, watch what you sayA pretty girlll get you one of these daysAnd one day in eighteen seventy-eightA pretty girl walked through bills front gateHe didnt know whether to stand there or runHe wound up married cause he did neither oneBilly, billy bayou, watch where you goYoure walking on quicksand, walk slowBilly, billy bayou, watch what you sayA pretty girlll get you one of these days
