Lyrics Tell Old Bill - Joni Mitchell

Tell Old Bill

Tell old Bill when he gets home this morning
Tell old Bill when he gets home this evening
Tell old Bill when he gets home
Leave those downtown girls alone
This morning, this evening, so soon
Old Bill’s wife she was bakin' bread this morning
Old Bill’s wife she was bakin' bread this evening
Old Bill’s wife she was bakin' bread
When she found out that Bill was dead
This morning, this evening, so soon
She said oh no it can’t be so this morning
She said oh no it can’t be so this evening
She said oh no it can’t be so
Bill left home about an hour ago
This morning, this evening, so soon
They brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon this morning
Brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon this evening
Brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon
Brought him home with his feet a-draggin'
This morning, this evening, so soon
Tell old Bill when he gets home
Leave those downtown girls alone
This morning, this evening, so soon
This morning, this evening, so soon
