In the town of Louisville they got a man called Big Bad Bill |
|
I want to tell you he sure was tough |
|
Yeah all folks scared to death when he walked by they held their breath |
|
He was a mighty man sure enough |
|
Now Bill took himself a wife now he's a different guy |
|
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now |
|
Married life has changed him somehow |
|
Yet he's not the man they used to fear now the people call him Sweet Papa Willie Dear |
|
Stronger than Sampson I'll declare and he's bound in mama comb his hair |
|
Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore wash his dishes and he might sweep the floor |
|
Yeah he used to spend his evenings a lookin' for a fight |
|
But now he gotta see his mama every night |
|
Cause Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now |
|
Yeah he used to spend his evenings... |
