Billy Bayou - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)

Written by：Roger Miller

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

Billy was a boy kinda big for his size red hair

And freckles and big blue eyes

Thirteen years form the day he was born

Bill fought the battles 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 cried ho ho

I can whip the fathers of Geronmino

He smarted off 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 1878

A pretty girl walked through to Bill's front gate

He didn't know whether to stand there and run

He wound up married cause he did neither 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
