Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)

In the town of Louisville they got a man they call Big Bad Bill

I wants to tell ya, he sure was tough tough, and he certainly did

strut his stuff

He had folks all scared to death, when he walked by they all held

their breath

He was a fighting man, sure enough



Now Bill got himself a wife, and he leads a different life



Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now

Married life done changed him some how

He's the man the town used to fear

Now they all call him sweet pappa Willie dear

Stronger than Samson I declare

'Til the brown skinned woman

Bobbed his hair



Big Bad Bill don't fight any more (No, he don't)

Doing the dishes

Mopping up that floor (Yes, he is)

Well he used to go out drinking

Looking for a fight

Now he gotta see that woman

Everynight

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now



Ah, play it boys

I likes that jazz



Big Bad Bill don't fight any more (No, he don't)

Doing the dishes

Mopping up that floor (Yes, he is)

Well he used to go out drinking

Looking for a fight

Now he gotta see that woman

Everynight

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Doing the dishes)

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Mop up the floor)

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
