Billy's Blues Lyrics


Billy's blue
With his head hangin' to his shoes
Right the wrong or play a song
To ease Billy's bluesBilly's down
He was born, he was bound to lose
So what if right the wrong or play a song
To ease Billy's blues, to ease Billy's bluesSome folks have it good
And some folks have it no good
But Billy's got it bad
He's so endlessly sadBilly's blues
With his head hangin' to his shoes
Somebody please right the wrong or play a song
To ease Billy's blues, to ease Billy's blues

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
