Jim Reeves( James Travis Reeves )

Billy Bayou

Lyricist:Roger Miller

Back about eighteen hundred and some
A Louisiana couple had a red headed son
No name suited him Jim, Jack or Joe
They just called him Billy Bayou

Billy, Billy Bayou watch where you go
You're walkin' on quick sand, walk slow
Billy, Billy Bayou watch what you say
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days

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
Bill fought the battles of the little big horn

Billy, Billy Bayou watch where you go
You're walkin' on quick sand, walk slow
Billy, Billy Bayou watch what you say
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days

One sad 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, walk slow
Billy, Billy Bayou watch what you say
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days

One day in eighteen seventy eight
A pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate
He didn't know whether to stand there or run
He wound up married 'cause he did neither one

Billy, Billy Bayou watch where you go
You're walkin' on quick sand, 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
