Lyrics

I shot Billy but Billy won’t die
I sank him in the lake, deep
Still he’s screaming up at me
We got married in a fever
Young and so eager
In a hall all full of friends
And late that night out in some back seat
He knuckled up to me
My fever turned to ice and wind
An hour out in the sunlight
Twenty-three in the dark
I shot Billy but Billy won’t die
I sank him in the lake, deep
Still he’s screaming up at me
Bought a house out on the river
And I burned it to cinders
Dumped some danger down the well
Jesus washed the feet of liars
Well, I set 'em on fire
And send 'em screaming down to hell
An hour out in the sunlight
Twenty-three in the dark
I shot Billy but Billy won’t die
I sank him in the lake, deep
Still he’s screaming up at me
