D
Billy,
the bum lived by the thumb
And sang of the hobo's delight
A
He'd prove he could run
Twice as fast as the sun
D
By losing his shadow at night
Now he loved every girl
In this curly headed world
G
But no one will know it seems
For two twisted legs and

Left Billy just a bum in his dreams

lived all alone in a run down home
A
Near the side of the old railroad track
Where the trains used to run
Carryin' freight by the ton

Billy's home town

Seemed to have nothin' better to do
Then run around his house

With their tongues from their mouth
A
Make fun of that crippled old fool

Verse 5
D
Now some folks they wait
and some folks they pray
A
For Jesus to rise up again
But none of these folks in their holy cloaks

Ever took Billy on as a friend
