Letra de The Death of Bill Bailey - Charley Crockett

The death of Bill Bailey

Was no surprise to me

If you knew him like I knew

Then I know you would agree

His friends all saw it coming

They knew the end was near

I was taken by his cunning

Late in the autumn last year

News of his killing

Had traveled across this land

Folks said it was fortune

That he drew the dead man’s hand

He was handsome as he was charming

Boy, he worked these mountain towns

Till one night when the party ended

Bill Bailey was lying down

Many times I’ve cried

Since Bill Bailey died

He wasn’t one to listen

And he couldn’t take good advice

It’s funny how I miss him

And the way he sung his songs

Bill Bailey was my friend

And then he done me wrong

I bought him a marble headstone

And I buried him in the cold

On a quiet winter’s morning

As the sun shined like gold

A young and green-eyed woman

Appeared through the haze

She asked if I knew Bill Bailey

I just said, “All his debts had been paid”
