Jim Reeves - Billy Bayou lyrics

Back about eighteen hundred some A Louisiana 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 watch 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 watch what you say a pretty girl will get you one of these days. One sad day Billy sed cried ho! ho! I can whip the fathers of Geronmino He got smart 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 watch what you say a pretty girl will get you one of these days. One day in eighteen-seventyeight A pretty girl walked up to Bill's front He didn't know whether to stand or run He wound up married cose 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 will get you one of these days. Pretty girl will get you one of these days
