| In the town of Louisville they got a man they call Big Bad Bill
|
| I want to tell you, he sure was tough, and he certainly did strut his stuff
|
| He had folks all scared to death, when he walked by they held their breath
|
| He was a fighting man, sure enough
|
| Now Bill took himself a wife, and he leads a different life, cause
|
| Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
|
| Married life has changed him some how
|
| He’s the man that they all used to fear
|
| But now the people call him sweet pappa Willie dear
|
| Stronger than Samson I declare
|
| Till the brown skinned mama bobbed his hair
|
| Big Bad Bill don’t fight any more
|
| Well he washes dishes and he mops up the floor
|
| Well he used to spend his evenin’s lookin' for a fight
|
| Now he’s got to see his mama every night
|
| Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
|
| Well he used to spend his evenin’s lookin' for a fight
|
| Now he’s got to see his mama every night
|
| Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now |
