Townes Van Zandt - Billy, Boney and Ma lyrics
Well, Billy went down to the battleground to find a little trinket he could call his own didn't see nothin' lying around he decided he'd dig awhile well he dug her up and he dug her down 'fore too long he found some bones poor little Billy couldn't make a sound when the bones sat up and smiled Oh Billy you seem like a fine young man no reason to be a tremblin' soul come over here and shake my hand make my proud acquaintance Well Billy he was stunned he could hardly stand whether he could move he didn't know but he knew he had to formulate some kinda plan or try the boneman's patience The first thing he wanted to do was breathe so he gulped in some of that battleground air next thing he wanted to do was leave but Billy wasn't raised up rude Well the boneman grunted and he gave a heave all of a sudden he was loomin' there shakin off dirt and actin pleased things didn't look too good Well Billy decided what the hell you don't meet a boneman every day A little bit skinny but you never can tell he might be a pretty good guy Well they started off with the old soft sell 'fore too long they were jawin' away by the time the darkness fell they were seein' socket to eye They decided right then on a life of crime with the boneman's looks and Billy's brains they could scare old Scrooge out of his last dime Might as well have a go Billy he would picked the place and time from the corner store to the railroad train Boney'd flash him a smile sublime and Billy he'd grab the dough They decided they might as well start right then Time's awastin |
