Текст песни Billy Bajou - Jim Reeves

Back about eighteen hundred some
A Louisinan couple hade a redheaded son
No name suited him, Jim, Jack or Joe
They just called him Billy Bayou

Billy, Billy Bayou watch where you go
Your walking on quicksand, walk slow
Billy, Billy Bayou watch what you say
A pretty girl′ll get you one of these days

Instrumental

Billy was a boy kinda big for his size
Red hair and freckles and big blue eyes
Thirteen years form the day he was born
Bill fought the battle of the little big horn

Billy, Billy Bayou watch where you go
Your walking on quicksand, walk slow
Billy, Billy Bayou watch what you say
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days

Instrumental

One sad day billy cried ho! ho!
I can whip the fathers off of Geronmino

He smarted off, the cheif got mad
This nearly ended our Louisiana lad

Billy, Billy Bayou watch where you go
Your walking on quicksand, walk slow
Billy, Billy Bayou watch what you say
A pretty girl′ll get you one of these days

Instrumental

One day in eighteen-seventy-eight
A pritty girl walked through Bill's front gate
He did'nt know whether to stand there or run
He wound up marred ′cause he did eather one

Billy, Billy Bayou watch where you go
Your walking on quicksand, walk slow
Billy, Billy Bayou watch what you say
A pretty girl′ll get you one of these days

Pretty girl'll get you one of these days...
