BILLY BAYOU
ROGER MILLER
Written by ROGER MILLER
VERSE 1:
6 6 6 -6 -6 6 6 6 -6
Back about eighteen hundred and some,
5 6 6 6 6 7 4 4 4 -4 4 -3 4
A Louis-i-an-a couple had a red headed son.
6 6 -6 -6 6 6 6 6 -6
No name fitted him, Jim, Jack or Joe.
6 6 -6 4 -4 4 -3 4
They just called him Billy Bayou.
CHORUS:
-6 -6 -6 -6 7 -6 6 5 5 5
Billy, Billy Bayou, watch where you go;
4 -4 -4 -4 -5 -4 5 6
You're walking on quick-sand, walk slow.
-6 -6 -6 -6 7 -6 6 5 5 5
Billy, Billy Bayou, watch what I say;
4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -5 -3 -4 4 4 4
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days.
VERSE 2:
Billy was a boy, kind of big for his size,
Red hair and freckles and big blue eyes.
Thirteen years from the day he was born,
Billy fought the battle of little Big Horn.
(CHORUS)
VERSE 3:
One sad day Billy cried ho, ho
I can whip the feathers of Geronimo.
He smarted off and the Cheif got mad,
That like to have ended our Louisiana lad.
(CHORUS)
VERSE 4:
One day in eighteen seventy eight,
A pretty girl walked thru Billy's front gate.
He didn't know whether to cry out or run,
And now he's married 'cause he did neither one.
(CHORUS)
