Billy was the man that made the earth a quake He said a baby lets up the stakes Threw a rifle over shoulder and he shined his boots Lit a cigarette and hit the road Gathered up a strong armed fleet that set out to destroy With confederacy on his mind Said "I have no fear, spread the racial cheer" And the South will rise again!" You better run for cover! You better run Billy never knew the meaning of surrender That boy fought until his d**h He left behind a legacy that birthed a life to follow Revolutionary state of mind For the ones who knew him best, he let into his home Vowed to all "remember these words" Hold ya head up high, aim up to the skies And remember you shoot to k** You better run for cover! You better run Now Billy was the Billy was the Billy was the man Billy ode to make the earth a quake Billy was the Billy was the Billy was the man Billy ode to make the world shake!
