Billy got some bad news today, Billy better learn how to pray. Billy’s gonna need friends now, Billy’s gonna need friends now. Bridge:
Billy isn’t feeling strong, can’t stay awake too long. Verse hummed or crooned Billy got some bad news today, Billy better learn how to pray. |
Thank you Anne from Australia for transcribing the lyrics!
August 31,2012 - Apparently there are a couple different versions of the lyrics. Peter called this to my attention by transcribing the following version from the "It Ain't Easy" album. Billy got some bad news today, Billy hardly knew what to say. Billy’s friends are gatherin' round. This is when the chips come down. Billy is a friend of mine, we were kids together. We were boys becoming men. We were different somehow Billy is a strong, strong man. He never was the kind who ran. Bridge Billy is a friend of mine, we were kids together. We were boys becoming men we were different somehow He went to the doctor, doctor turned away. Billy got some bad news today. Oh he went to the doctor, doctor turned away. Billy got some bad news today. |
