Big Bad Bill (is Sweet William Now) Lyrics - Champagne Charlie - Leon Redbone

In the town of Louisville 

Lived a man they call Big Bad Bill 

I want to tell ya, he sure was tough 

He certainly did strut their stuff 

He had folks scared to death 

When he walked by they held their breath 

He was a fighting man, sure enough 

Now Bill took himself a wife, he has to lead a different life 

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now 

Married life has changed him some how 

He's a man that they all used to fear 

Now the people call him sweet papa Willie dear 

Stronger than Samson I declare 

'Till a hot head mama bobbed his hair 

Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore 

He wash his dishes and he mobs up the floor 

He used to spend his evenings looking for a fight 

Now he's got to see his mama every night 

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now 

Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore 

He wash his dishes and he mobs up the floor 

He used to spend his evenings looking for a fight 

Now he's got to see his mama every night 

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
