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 |
A travelin' Bible salesman on his monthly trip to town |
Three bullet holes |
A .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 |
A 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 |
But no one ever asked |
So they’ll never know |
Swear to God they’ll never know |
Case is closed, that’s how the story will be told |
