Well, I went down yonder in Louisville
|
Lived a cat named Big Bad Bill
|
I wants ta tell ya
|
Ah, the cat was rough and tough he would strut his stuff
|
Had the whole town scared to death
|
When he walked by, they all held their breath
|
He's a fightin' man, sure enough
|
And then Bill got himself a wife, now he leads a different life
|
|
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
|
Married life done changed him somehow
|
He's the man the town used to fear
|
Now they all call him Sweet Papa Willy Dear
|
Stronger than Sampson I declare
|
'Til a brown-skinned woman's bobbed his hair
|
|
Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore (No, no, no)
|
He's doin the dishes an' moppin' up that floor (Yes he is)
|
Well he used to go out drinkin' lookin' for a fight
|
Now he gotta see that sweet woman every night
|
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
|
|
Aw, play it boys
|

|
|
Whoo!
|
I likes that, yeah ("Yeah," say I)
|
|
Ah, y-well, Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore (No, he don't)
|
He's doin' the dishes 'n moppin' up that floor (Yes he is)
|
Well he used to go out drinkin' lookin' for a fight
|
Now he gotta see that sweet woman every night
|
|
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Doin' the dishes)
|
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Moppin' up that floor!)
|
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
|
|
Cha!
|
Yeah!
