Billy Bayou - Jim Reeves

作词：Roger Miller

作曲：Roger Miller

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

and freckles and big blue eyes

Thirteen years from the day he was born

Bill fought the battles 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 whip the feathers of Geronimo

He smarted 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 １８７８ a pretty girl

walked through Bill's front gate

He didn't know whether to stand there and run

He wound up married cause he did neighter 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
