Billy Bayou - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)
Back about eighteen
Hundred and some
A Louisiana couple
Had a red headed son
No name suited him
Jim Jack or Joe
They just called him
Billy Bayou
Billy Billy Bayou watch
Where you go
You're walkin' on
Quick sand and 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
You're walkin' on
Quick sand and 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 Geronimo
He started off
The chief got mad
This nearly ended our
Louisiana lad
Billy Billy Bayou
Watch where you go
You're walkin' on
Quick sand and 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
You're walkin' on
Quick sand and 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
