Artist/Band: Charley Pride
Lyrics for Song: Billy Bayou
Lyrics for Album: 20 Classics [Music City] [2004]



(Roger Miller)



Back about eighteen hundred and some

A Louisiana couple had a red headed son

No name soothe 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.



--- Instrumental ---



Billy was a boy kinda big for a size

Red hair and freckles and big blue eyes

Thirteen years from the day he was born

Billy fought the battle 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.



--- Instrumental ---



One said 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.



--- Instrumental ---



One day in eighteen-seventy-eight

A pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate

He didn't know whether to stand there and run

He would 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...
