Текст песни

Back about eighteen hundred and some
A Louisian couple had
A redheaded son no name suited him
The 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 what what you say
A pretty girl will get you one of these days.

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

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

One sad day Billy cried "Ho! Ho!
I can whip the feathers off of Geronimo"
He smarted off, the chief got mad
This nearly ended our Louisiana lad

Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go
Your walking on quicksand walk slow.
Billy Billy Bayou what what you say
A pretty girl will 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 ‘cause he didn't either one

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

Pretty girl'll will get you one of these days
