Back
about eighteen hundred and some
A
Louisiana couple had a redheaded son
No
name suited him, Jim, Jack or Joe
So
they just called him Billy Bayou
Billy,
Billy Bayou, watch where you go
You're
walking on quicksand, walk slow
Billy,
Billy Bayou, watch what you say
A
pretty girl'll get you one of these days
Now
Bill was a boy kind of big for his size (..kinda
big boy size)
Red
hair and freckles, and big blue eyes
Thirteen
years from the day he was born
Bill
fought the battle of the Little Big Horn
Billy,
Billy Bayou, watch where you go
You're
walking on quicksand, walk slow
Billy,
Billy Bayou, watch what you say
A
pretty girl'll get you one of these days
Now
one sad day Billy cried "Ho! Ho!
I
whipped the feathers off of Geronimo" (I could
whip..)
He
smarted off, the chief got mad
This
like to ended our Louisiana lad (That likely
ended..)
Billy,
Billy Bayou, watch where you go
You're
walking on quicksand, walk slow
Billy,
Billy Bayou, watch what you say
A
pretty girl'll get you one of these days
And
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 did neither one
Billy,
Billy Bayou, watch where you go
You're
walking on quicksand, walk slow
Billy,
Billy Bayou, watch what you say
A
pretty girl'll get you one of these days
