Billy was a friend of mine We grew up together ever since we were nine We went to school, he was my best friend And I thought our friendship would never end Then we left school and went up to collage He studied medicine, while I studied foilage He made touch-downs, while I played pool And no one could figure out, which one of us was the fool Then war broke out and he had to go But not me, I was mentally unfit or so they say, so, so When he came back, he wasn't quite the same He wasn't the guy I knew, it was like talking to a wall Billy was a friend of mine We grew up together ever since we were nine We went to school, he was my best friend And I thought our friendship would never end Come on Billy boy, Go, Go, GO
