Ol' Bill

Tell old Bill when he comes home this morning

Tell old Bill when he comes home this evening

Tell old Bill when he comes home, leave those downtown gals alone

This morning, this evening, so soon

Old Sal was baking bread this morning

Old Sal was baking bread this evening

Old Sal was baking bread, she found out that her Bill was dead

This morning, this evening, so soon

Oh no, it can't be so, this morning

Oh no, it can't be so, this evening

Oh no, it can't be so, my Bill left here about an hour ago

This morning, this evening, so soon

They brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon this morning

They brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon this evening

They brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon

Poor dead Bill, how his toes were draggin'

This morning, this evening, so soon

Oh no, it cannot be this morning

Oh no, it cannot be this evening

Oh no, it cannot be, they killed my Bill in the first degree

This morning, this evening, so soon

This morning, this evening, so soon
