Billy Bayou Lyrics - Jim Reeves

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 

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 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 

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 gee-ron-imo 

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 'cause he didn't either one
