Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now) — текст песни (Merle Haggard)

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
[ guitar - dixieland ]
Yeah he used to spend his evenings...
