Big Bad Bill

Songwriters: AGER, MILTON/YELLEN, JACK

In the town of Louisville 
Lived a man they call Big Bad Bill 
I want to tell ya, he sure was tough 
He certainly did strut their stuff 

He had folks scared to death 
When he walked by they held their breath 
He was a fighting man, sure enough 

Now Bill took himself a wife, he has to lead a different life 
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now 

Married life has changed him some how 
He's a man that they all used to fear 
Now the people call him sweet papa Willie dear 
Stronger than Samson I declare 
'Till a hot head mama bobbed his hair 

Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore 
He wash his dishes and he mobs up the floor 
He used to spend his evenings looking for a fight 
Now he's got to see his mama every night 
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now 

Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore 
He wash his dishes and he mobs up the floor 
He used to spend his evenings looking for a fight 
Now he's got to see his mama every night 
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now.
