Billy's Gonna Eat A Dog

But it’s all right

It’s all right

 

I can’t get his father

‘Cos he’ll be out all night

With somebody else’s wife

With someone else’s wife

 

I can’t get his mother

‘Cos she’ll shoot me on sight

Give me my final rites

Give me my final rites

Alright, alright

It’s all right

Billy needs some understanding

I ain’t got the time

Billy needs some whiskey

But all I’ve got is wine

 

Get some help, boys

Someone who can do some good

Someone who can suck on wood

Someone who can suck on wood

 

Billy’s at the river and he’s

Climbing up the canyon walls

Billy’s gonna eat a dog

Billy’s gonna eat a dog

 

Billy needs some understanding

I ain’t got the time

Billy needs a woman

But the girl I’ve got is mine

Alright, alright

It’s all right

 

Billy’s in the river

He left the dog in the cave

Billy fell and broke his head

Billy fell and broke his head

 

Go get some bread, boys,

And bring a little salt at least

We’re gonna have ourselves a feast

We’re gonna have ourselves a feast

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Call out the service, boys

Billy’s gonna eat a dog

Call out the service, boys

Billy’s gonna eat a dog

Won’t listen to a word I say

Won’t listen to a word I say

 

Check out the news, boys

Say they better get here soon

Billy’s shooting for the moon

Billy’s shooting for the moon

 

Billy needs some understanding

I ain’t got the time

Billy needs some money

And I ain’t got a dime
