Billy Lyrics - Bob Dylan

There's guns across the river aimin' at ya 

Lawman on your trail, he'd like to catch ya 

Bounty hunters, too, they'd like to get ya 

Billy, they don't like you to be so free 

Campin' out all night on the berenda 

Dealin' cards 'til dawn in the hacienda 

Up to Boot Hill they'd like to send ya 

Billy, don't you turn your back on me 

Playin' around with some sweet seƱorita 

Into her dark hallway she will lead ya 

In some lonesome shadows she will greet ya 

Billy, you're so far away from home 

There's eyes behind the mirrors in empty places 

Bullet holes and scars between the spaces 

There's always one more notch and ten more paces 

Billy, and you're walkin' all alone 

They say that Pat Garrett's got your number 

So sleep with one eye open when you slumber 

Every little sound just might be thunder 

Thunder from the barrel of his gun 

Guitars will play your grand finale 

Down in some Tularosa alley 

Maybe in the Rio Pecos valley 

Billy, you're so far away from home 

There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances 

Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances 

And some old whore from San Pedro to make advances 

Advances on your spirit and your soul 

The businessmen from Taos want you to go down 

They've hired Pat Garrett to force a showdown 

Billy, don't it make ya feel so low-down 

To be shot down by the man who was your friend? 

Hang on to your woman if you got one 

Remember in El Paso, once, you shot one 

She may have been a whore, but she was a hot one 

Billy, you been runnin' for so long 

Guitars will play your grand finale 

Down in some Tularosa alley 

Maybe in the Rio Pecos valley 

Billy, you're so far away from home
