Billy Fetch Yer Gun
|
Billy grew up back in the swamp
|
Got all his learnin¡¯ from a cajun guru
|
Billy learned by the birds and the bees
|
There ain¡¯t nothin¡¯ nature can¡¯t teach you
|
|
The lawman came from south Louisiana
|
Threatened Billy with either jail or school
|
Billy grabbed himself a stick and hit him in the head
|
Nothin¡¯ swings better than the old bamboo
|
|
CH (back up always sing chorus)
|
|
Billy you¡¯re troubles just begun
|
Billy fetch yer gun
|
|
Well Billy left the lawman the gators¡¯ fed good
|
But soon there were other lawmen in the hood
|
Billy knew the swamp better than any other man
|
And he shot them all down like old tin cans
|
|
Well the gators got fat and Billy got mean
|
When the lawman made himself lord of everything
|
Billy lived by the law of the swamp
|
If you messed with a man you can take what you got
|
|
CH
|
Billy thought shooting¡¯ law men was fun
|
Billy fetch your gun
|
|
Well it wasn¡¯t the end for Billy just yet
|
The lawman was hard and Billy shot all he could get
|
Tried to ambush them all down at their meetin¡¯ spot
|
But 35 was all Billy got
|
|
Billy left the world laughin¡¯ that day
|
Not the way he had planned
|
But he had something to say
|
He died with a note to his son in his hand
|
Billy Jr don¡¯t give in to the lawman
|
|
|
Billy Fetch Yer Gun
|
|
CH
|
He¡¯ll rob you of your living
|
Rob you lf your fun
|
Billy Jr go and fetch yer gun
|
The lawman he is the tyrants son
|
Billy fetch yer gun
