The Ides of Texas (And Don't Fence Me In) - Chad Mitchell Trio[00:00:00]

Written by：N.Martin/Cole Porter/Fred Ebb[00:00:02]

Some of America's most beautiful ballads[00:00:06]

Come from the land of the sagebrush and sun[00:00:10]

The great southwest[00:00:13]

You've heard how us folks down in Texas[00:00:16]

Boast of our home in the west[00:00:21]

You've heard us a sayin' in Texas[00:00:26]

That things are the biggest and best[00:00:31]

Well a few months ago in the papers[00:00:37]

A fabulous story come out[00:00:42]

Which proves that us folks down in Texas[00:00:47]

Know what we're talking about[00:00:53]

Here's to a guy with a big Texas smile[00:00:58]

Who knows what it means to have real Texas style[00:01:05]

Here's to a fella who couldn't think small[00:01:12]

Here's to the biggest embezzler of all[00:01:19]

Billie Sol Estes we're proud of you son[00:01:26]

Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Billie[00:01:29]

You had to be Texan to do what you done[00:01:32]

Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Sol[00:01:36]

While other kids saved up their nickels and dimes[00:01:38]

For jellybeans liq'rice and fudge[00:01:41]

Well Billie saved too[00:01:45]

And when he had enough[00:01:46]

He bought him a federal judge[00:01:48]

While still in his teens he was very perplexed[00:01:51]

As to what field his fortune was hid[00:01:54]

His uncle suggested he go into steel[00:01:57]

And that's just what Billie boy did[00:02:00]

Billie Sol Estes that boy really cooks[00:02:03]

Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Billie[00:02:07]

He had one shining purpose[00:02:09]

And two sets of books[00:02:11]

Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Sol[00:02:13]

There once was a senator bill tried to bribe[00:02:16]

So bill had a wonderful notion[00:02:19]

What a friend we have[00:02:21]

He sent him a yacht but that wasn't enough[00:02:23]

So Billie boy threw in an ocean[00:02:27]

Billie Sol Estes we're proud of you mate[00:02:30]

Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Billie[00:02:33]

It's hombres like you that make Texas so great[00:02:36]

Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Sol[00:02:39]

B is for the billions he's been bilkin'[00:02:44]

Good ole billion bilkin' Billie[00:02:49]

I is to indemnify his loss[00:02:51]

They use a lot of ammonia up there Billie[00:02:55]

That's why they call it the white house[00:02:57]

L is for the loans from Uncle Sammy[00:02:59]

Why thank ye cousin orville[00:03:04]

Then double l just like in double cross[00:03:06]

I is for the interest he's accruin'[00:03:14]

Praise the Lord and pass the fertilizer Billie[00:03:18]

E is for the eggheads he outsmarts[00:03:21]

Put them all together you've got Billie Sol[00:03:26]

Whose initials are emblazed on our hearts[00:03:32]

B. S.[00:03:37]

Billie Sol Estes we're proud of you boy[00:03:41]

Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Billie[00:03:44]

Next to you Jimmy Hoffa is Lord Fauntleroy[00:03:47]

Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Sol[00:03:50]

Now they're gonna take Billie away to the clink[00:03:53]

And the way things look now it appears[00:03:56]

For all of the wheelin' and dealin' he's done[00:03:59]

He'll get three thousand four hundred years[00:04:02]

And the day they lead old Billie away[00:04:12]

Why each Texan will take off his hat[00:04:18]

For who but a Texan[00:04:23]

In all this wide world[00:04:25]

Could pull down a sentence like that[00:04:28]

Billie Sol Estes you're really a doll[00:04:31]

Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Billie[00:04:34]

There's Houston and Crockett[00:04:37]

And now Billie Sol[00:04:38]

And remember Billie boy[00:04:41]

We're behind you all the way[00:04:42]

Me and Ladybug[00:04:44]

Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Sol Estes[00:04:45]
