Bill Bill

Well I was the youngest of thirteen children

We lived in a little country town

Never had much to eat

The first words I could speak were patch 'em up and hand-me-downs

Well my daddy hauled bills for the textile mills to pick up the little money we

made

Had a three room shack with a john out back

We only had paper when daddy got paid

Well somehow i grew up a really fat kid

Though we never had that much to eat

Those rich kids laughed and they beat on me

And their dogs chased me up and down the street

They bite my ankles and tear my pants

Yeah they all had fun with me

And as got fatter those dogs got madder

Things were bout as bad as they could be

Well I always wanted me a puppy

Daddy said there wasn't no way

There wasn't near enough food to feed our crew

There wasn't none to give away

One night a drunk in a poker game

He won ole Bill Tedder's hog

I kinda liked that ole pole shiner so i raised him like a dog

Those rich kids all had puppies

But I never had no dog

It was always me and bill bill

The old fat boy and his hog

Well he'd follow me to school most every day

And he'd waller outside and wait

Yeah sometimes I'd take him fishing with me

But he ate up all my bait

He wasn't much good at hunting either

Cause everything I shot he ate

He was so doggone slow that everywhere we go

We always got there late

But all my troubles they ended one day

When ole Bill Bill got full grown

They waited for us one day after school

And jumped us as we headed home

When the dust had settled and the fur stopped flying

Ole Bill Bill sorta grinned at me

Cause screaming youngins and the howlin dogs, was all there was to see

Well I guess they learned a good lesson

Cause they never bothered us after that day

Those rich kids called us the two Ton terror

And stayed out of our way

And they all disappeared to fancy schools

and the town got kinda dry of dogs

It's only me and Bill Bill

The ole fat boy and his hog

Those rich kids all had puppies

But I never had no dog

It was always me and bill bill

The old fat boy and his hog

That was all many years ago

And ole Bill Bill is a long time gone

See things are a whole lot different now

About the best I've ever known

You see Bill Bill got a little lonesome and brought him a lady friend home one

day

Now I've got 2872 hogs and several more on the way

Got a thirteen thousand dollar pick em up truck

Making money so doggone fast

Yeah married me a fine southern woman

She's teaching me a little bit of class

Well she just had a little baby boy about as round as he is tall

And I think I'll call him Bill Bill

If he's got any spunk at all

Those rich kids all had puppies

But I never had no dog

It was always me and bill bill

The old fat boy and his hog
