Around my old hometown I am known
By a name that suits me better than my own
My friends all know how much that I love you
That's why they call me Billy Blue
In a town the size of my hometown
News good or bad soon gets around
So I guess they found out we are through
That's why they call me Billy Blue

I take a walk uptown every day or so
Before I've gone a block or so I know
Some friend will pass and say, "How do you do?
Nice day we're havin' [?] Billy Blue."
My friends all call me Billy Blue
