Billy Bayou - Jim Reeves

Back about eighteen

hundred and some

A Louisiana couple

had a red-headed son

No name suited him,

Jim, Jack or Joe

So they just called him

Billy Bayou

Billy, Billy Bayou, watch

where you go

If you're walkin' on

quicksand, 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 his size

Red hair, 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

If you're walkin' on

quicksand, 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 lick the feathers

off of Geronimo"

He started off, the chief

got mad

This nearly ended our

Louisiana lad

Billy, Billy Bayou,

watch where you go

If you're walkin' on quicksand,

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 'cuz

he didn't either one

Billy, Billy Bayou, watch

where you go

If you're walkin' on quicksand,

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
