The Waifs - Billy Jones lyrics

Billy Jones (written by Donna Simpson) Well we grew up together in an urban town Just me and Billy Jones always hanging around He was a Mumma His clothes were always neat and his hair carefully styled All the games we I All those pretty dresses that he I He A few years later you know we kinda drifted apart My family moved south to make a new start I missed Billy, Mum said that was wrong Dad said Where does he belong? A few years later I was working in a bar It was smoky and dark, there was a blues man playing guitar When in walked a woman wearing emerald green With a voluptuous figure, she was beautiful and lean She was looking pretty mean A full martini shaken not stirred It was only until about after her third I started looking closely, man I should have known! It was my old friend; you guessed it, Billy Jones Oh my god Billy Jones! Oh sh** Billy Jones! Tears filled our eyes as we began to speak He It made me feel sad to hear him say In a voice so sweet As the night wore on we spoke of yesterday And how Billy has always known that he was gay I never knew how much a person could change From little Billy Jones to lean, luscious Jane Billy Jane Jones this comes from my heart I hope your nights are filled with a thousand stars But don This is the ballad of Billy Jane Jones
