Lyrics Billy and Sue - B.J. Thomas

Billy and Sue

This is the story about Billy and Sue
They were in love as were any two
And yet Billy had to die
And when you hear the reason why
You’ll hang your head and cry
Billy and Sue met the first day of school
And ever since lived by the golden rule
Because when you do unto others
What you wouldn’t want done to you
You have to be a fool
This mutual agreement of love and trust
Made them travel the road to marriage or bust
And when Billy was old enough to take a wife
He was old enough to fight for his country
And it’s way of life
Sue’s letters came everyday
Strengthened his cause
They showed him the way
To fight for his country and the girl he loved
That’s the soldier’s only pay
But then Billy heard no more from Sue
He was worried sick but what could he do
The bullets were screaming as he hugged the ground
And back home
Sue was running 'round
Billy was getting less and less strong
His hopeless faith was almost gone
