Billy

Billy left on Friday night with twenty dollars cash

Had a thousand more and a diamond on his hand

When he got back

I don't know

Just where billy got that dough

Saturday he spent in style

Drinks were on the house

Lincoln here and a jackson there

Suspicions were aroused

A dime was dropped and a name was named

A body soon was found

Traveling bible salesman on his monthly trip to town

Three bullet holes

38 done took his soul

What do you know

No diamond ring no money roll

A quick investigation

They dragged billy to the station

And broke him down with the third degree

His alibi unraveled

Judge riley banged his gavel

12 man jury all agreed

So he must be guilty

I knew billy spent that night

Winning big at cards

And the salesman was a married man

Who broke my sister's heart

Billy sits in levenworth

Waiting for the gas

And I know lots of other things

No one ever asked

They'll never know

Swear to god they'll never know

Case is closed

That's how the story will be told

You all right now

No have now
