Karaoké Billy Bayou Jim Reeves

Back about eighteen hundred and some a Louisiana couple had a redheaded son

No name suited him

Jim, Jack or Joe

They just called him Billy Bayou

Billy, Billy Bayou

Watch where you go

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

Bill fought the battle of the Little Big Horn

Billy, Billy Bayou

Watch where you go

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 whip the feathers of Geronimo

He smarted off

The chief got mad

This nearly ended our Louisiana lad

Billy, Billy Bayou

Watch where you go

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 'cos he did neither one

Billy, Billy Bayou

Watch where you go

You're walkin' on quicksand

Walk slow

Billy, Billy Bayou

Watch what you say

A pretty girl'll get you one of these days

Pretty girl'll get you one of these days
