Billy's blue
with his head hangin' to
his shoes
right the wrong
or play a song
to ease billy's blues
Billy's down
he was born he was bound
to lose
right the wrong
or play a song
to ease billy's blues

some folks have it good
and some folks have it no good
but billy's go it bad
he's so endlessly sad

Billy'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
