Billy B Damned Lyrics & Chords By Billy Joe Shaver

Billy B.,Billy B. was his name
Billy B. Damned was his claim to fame
Kinda heavy in the head and mean in the eye
All the people stopped talkin' when Billy walked by

He kinda shuffled along,if you know what i mean
Always lookin' for a lady
Who was lookin' for a scene
Snappin' his fingers to the radio
Bippin' and boppin' wherever he'd go

Billy B. Billy B. was his name
Billy B. Damned was his claim to fame
Billy B. Billy B. Damned
Billy was a mighty peculiar man

He was the number seven of a seventh son
Born in the valley
Where the river don't run
He had to walk ten miles just to get to school
That didn't last long 'cause he wasn't no fool

Back in the big falls 'way down home
Old Billy done his stompin' 'till the cows come home
Always gettin' into trouble and messin' with the law
It didn't matter none 'cause the sheriff was his paw

Billy B.,Billy B. was his name
Billy B. Damned was his claim to fame
Kinda heavy in the head and mean in the eye
All the people stopped talkin' when Billy walked by

Billy got married and he settled down
Got elected to mayor of his home town
Got his feet on the desk and a big cigar
Travelled 'round town in a Cadillac car

Billy B.,Billy B. was his name
Billy B. Damned was his claim to fame
Kinda heavy in the head and mean in the eye
All the people stopped talkin' when Billy walked by
