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 quicksand, walk slow
Billy, Billy Bayou, watch what you say
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
(Billy Bayou)
(Billy Bayou)
Billy was a boy, kinda 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 the little big horn
Billy, Billy Bayou, watch where you go
You're walkin' on quicksand, walk slow
Billy, Billy Bayou, watch what I say
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
(Billy Bayou)
(Billy Bayou)
One sad day Billy cried ho ho
I can lick the feathers off of gee-ron-imo
He started off, the chief got mad
This nearly ended our Louisiana lad
Billy, Billy Bayou, watch where you go
You're walkin' on quicksand, walk slow
Billy, Billy Bayou, watch what I say
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
(Billy Bayou)
(Billy Bayou)
One day in eighteen seventy-eight
A pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate
He didn't know whether to cry or rto un
He wound up married 'cause 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 I say
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
