Billy The Bum (LP版) - John Prine[00:00:00]

Billy the bum[00:00:13]

Lived by the thumb[00:00:16]

And sang of the hobo's delight[00:00:18]

He'd prove he could run[00:00:23]

Twice as fast as the sun[00:00:26]

By losing his shadow at night[00:00:29]

Now he loved every girl[00:00:34]

This curly headed world[00:00:36]

But no one will know it seems[00:00:39]

For two twisted legs and a childhood disease[00:00:44]

Left billy just a bum in his dreams[00:00:49]

And he was just a gentle boy[00:00:54]

A real florescent light[00:01:00]

Cried pennies on sunday morning[00:01:05]

Laughs nickels on saturday night[00:01:10]

And your bullets they can't harm him[00:01:14]

Nor your knives tear him apart[00:01:19]

Humiliation killed him[00:01:25]

God bless his little heart[00:01:29]

Now he lived all alone[00:01:47]

In a run down home[00:01:50]

Near the side of the old railroad track[00:01:52]

Where the trains used to run[00:01:57]

Carrying freight by the ton[00:02:00]

Blow the whistle as billy'd wave back[00:02:02]

But the children around[00:02:07]

Billy's home town[00:02:10]

Seemed to have nothin' better to do[00:02:12]

Then run around his house[00:02:17]

With their tongues from their mouth[00:02:19]

And make fun of that cripped old fool[00:02:22]

And he was just a gentle boy[00:02:27]

A real florescent light[00:02:32]

Cried pennies on sunday morning[00:02:37]

Laughs nickels on saturday night[00:02:42]

And your bullets they can't harm him[00:02:46]

Nor your knives tear him apart[00:02:51]

Humiliation killed him[00:02:57]

God bless his little heart[00:03:01]

Now some folks they wait[00:03:18]

And some folks they pray[00:03:21]

For jesus to rise up again[00:03:23]

But none these folks[00:03:28]

In their holy cloaks[00:03:31]

Ever took billy on as a friend[00:03:33]

For pity's a crime[00:03:38]

And ain't worth a dime[00:03:41]

To a person who's really in need[00:03:43]

Just treat 'em the same[00:03:48]

As you would your own name[00:03:50]

Next time that your heart starts to bleed[00:03:53]

And he was just a gentle boy[00:03:58]

A real florescent light[00:04:03]

Cried pennies on sunday morning[00:04:07]

Laughs nickels on saturday night[00:04:13]

And your bullets they can't harm him[00:04:17]

Nor your knives tear him apart[00:04:22]

Humiliation killed him[00:04:28]

God bless his little heart[00:04:32]
