Billie’s Gone

[Verse 1]
Look in the yard
Check in the barn
Mama's out back in a rockin' chair
She's taking it hard
Note on the table
And I'm not able
To tell Mama Billie's gone to the city
Breakin' Mama's heart, now ain't that a pity?
Ha!

[Verse 2]
She said, "Mama, don't cry
'Cause I'm gonna get by
A man's got to find his place in the sun
Got to be on the run"
So long, Bill
Do what you will
A man's got to find what his soul can be
So many things in the world, it seems

[Chorus]
Billie's gone, long gone
Packed his bags and he's leavin' home
But he'll come runnin' back
Sooner or later
Billie's gone, gone, gone
Stole [?]
He's just tryin' to help himself do bеtter
Woo, ha!

[Verse 1]
Look in the yard
Check in thе barn
Mama's out back in a rockin' chair
And she's taking it hard
Note on the table
And I'm not able
To tell Mama Billie's gone to the city
Breakin' Mama's heart, now ain't that a pity?

[Chorus]
Billie's gone, gone, gone
Packed his bags and he's leavin' home
But he'll come runnin' back
Sooner or later
Billie's gone, gone, gone
Strung by the man in a [?] gone wrong
He's just tryin' to help himself do better

Sha! Ooh

Billie's gone, gone, gone
Packed his bags and he's leavin' home
But he'll come runnin' back
Sooner or later
Billie's gone, gone, gone
Strung by the man in a [?] gone wrong
He's just tryin' to help himself do better

Woo, ha!
