Billy Christian

Statler Brothers · Flowers on the Wall [Ranwood] [2000]

(Tom T. Hall)



If you're listenin' Billy Christian, come on home.



Are you listening Billy Christian, if you are then go on home

Everything is like you left it, she spends all the time alone

All that music never thrills her like it did when you were there

Go on home Billy Christian if you care.



What a team they were together, Billy Christian and his wife

People loved to hear them singin', that was their success in life

But the eyes of Billy Christian were the wild and wandering kind

Now Billy's wife sings solo all the time.



Are you listening Billy Christian, if you are then go on home

Everything is like you left it, she spends all the time alone

All that music never thrills her like it did when you were there

Go on home Billy Christian if you care.



All the fellows tried to date me, but she never blinked an eye

Every night she sings her same sad song and cries

Now where is Billy Christian, does he ever hear the song?

Does Billy Christian know he's welcome home?



Are you listening Billy Christian, if you are then go on home

Everything is like you left it, she spends all the time alone

All that music never thrills her like it did when you were there

Go on home Billy Christian if you care.



Go on home Billy Christian if you care...
