Billy about 1800 and some
A Louisiana couple had a redheaded son
No name suited him, Jim, Jack, or Joe
They just called him Billy Bios
Billy Billy Bios, watch where you go
You're walking on quicksand, walk slow
Oh, Billy, Billy, bye -o, watch what you say
A pretty girl'll get you one
of these days
Now, Bill 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
Bill fought the battle of the little bighorn
Billie, Billie, bye -o,
watch where you go
You're walking on quicksand, walk slow
Billie, Billie, bye -o, watch what you say
A pretty girl'll get you one
of these days
One sad day, Billie cried, ho -ho
I can whip the feathers off a G -rod and bow
He smarted off and the chief got mad,
And this nearly ended our Louisiana lad.
Billy, Billy, Bio, watch where you go,
You're walking on quicksand,
walk slow.
Billy, Billy, Bio, what would you say,
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days.
One day in 1878,
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, Bio, watch where you go.
You're walking on quicksand, walk slow.
Oh, Billy, Billy
Boy, oh, watch what you say,
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days,
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days.
