Billy Bayou Acordes

[Verse 1]
C
Back about eighteen hundred and some
                         G7         C
A Louisiana couple had a red-headed son
C
No name suited him, Jim, Jack or Joe
                     G7       C
They just called him Billy Bayou
 
 
[Chorus]
F                  C
Billy Billy Bayou, watch where you go
          G7                  C
If you're walkin' on quicksand, walk slow
F                  C

  G7                     C
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days

Billy was a boy kind of big for his size
                          G7       C
Red hair and freckles and big blue eyes
C
Thirteen years from the day he was born
                              G7         C
Bill fought the battle of the Little Big Horn

One sad day Billy cried "ho! ho!"
                             G7       C
I can whip the feathers offa Gee-ron-imo
C
He started off, the chief got mad,
                      G7        C
This nearly ended our Louisiana lad

[Verse 4]
C
One day in eighteen seventy-eight
                             G7           C
A pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate
   C
He didn't know whether to stand there or run
                           G7            C
He wound up married cuz he didn't either one

A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
  G7                     C
