A louisiana couple had a red headed son

No name suited him jim jack or joe

They just called him billy by o

Billy billy by o watch where you go

You're walking on quicksand walk slow

Billy billy by o watch what you say

A pretty girl'll get you one of these days

Billy was a boy kind of big for his size

Red hair freckles and big blue eyes

Thirteen years from the day he was born

Bill fought the battle of the little big horn

Billy billy by o watch where you go

You're walking on quicksand walk slow

Billy billy by o watch what you say

A pretty girl'll get you one of these days

One sad day billy cried ho ho

I can't whip the feathers off a geronimo

He smarted off the chief got mad

This nearly ended all louisiana land

Billy billy by o watch where you go

You're walking on quicksand walk slow

Billy billy by o 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 run

He wound up married cause he didn't either one

Billy billy by o watch where you go

You're walking on quicksand walk slow

Billy billy by o watch what you say

A pretty girl'll get you one of these days

A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
