Eric Bibb – Letras de Tell Ol' Bill

Tell old Bill when he comes home this morning
Tell old Bill when he comes home
Tell old 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’.

Instrumental

Tell old Bill when he comes home this morning
Tell old Bill when he comes home
Tell old Bill when he comes home
Leave them down town girls alone
This morning,
This morning
In the morning
Oh oh.
