Eric Bibb Tell Ol' Bill song lyrics

Tell ol' Bill when he comes home this morning

Tell ol' Bill when he comes home

Tell ol' Bill when he comes home

Leave them down town girls alone

This morning, so soon

Bill left home by the alley gate this morning

Bill left home by the alley gate

Bill left home by the alley gate

Old Sal said, "Hey Bill, don't be late"

This morning, so soon

Bill's sweet wife was baking bread in the morning

Bill's sweet wife was baking bread

Bill's sweet wife was baking bread

When she found out her Bill was dead

This morning, so soon

She cried, "Oh no, it cannot be

Oh no, it cannot be"

She cried, "Oh no, it cannot be"

They killed my Bill in the third degree

This morning, so soon

Well, they brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon

Brought him on home in a hurry-up wagon

They brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon

Poor old Bill his boots were draggin'

Tell ol' Bill when he comes home this morning

Tell ol' Bill when he comes home

Tell ol' Bill when he comes home

Leave them down town girls alone

This morning, this morning, in the morning

Oh, oh
