Lyrics

Blind Boy Billy
Blind Boy Billy he’s the fat man with the razor
He’s the keeper of the keys
Blind Boy Billy he’s the fat man with the razor
He’s the keeper of the keys
All up and down on the Eastern Seaboard
Blind Boy Billy called his home
With a hundred miles of gasoline,
Five hundred miles to go
And a thousand miles of mamas all alone
Blind Boy Billy used to sing this song
Play that fiddle all night long
Play the saxophone, play that drum
Play so loud that the police come
Blind Boy Billy’s shovin' em in
Hittin' his face and hittin his chin
He don’t care what the police say
Gonna play that fiddle to the break of day
Blind Boy Billy, it’s all the same
He don’t need to plan the game
Nickel on the table, dime in the pocket
Finger on the trigger
And an eye in the socket
Once upon a time, the goose drank wine
The monkey spit tobacco on the streetcar line
Streetcar broke, the monkey choked
And they all had to go to town on a billy goat
But that old Billy kept on walkin'
He just kept on talkin', awww yeah
Gonna play that fiddle to the break of day
