Verse 1
D
Billy,
the bum lived by the thumb
And sang of the hobo's delight
Twice as fast as the sun
D
By losing his shadow at night
Now he loved every girl
In this curly headed world
G
But no one will know it seems
For two twisted legs and
A
Left Billy just a bum in his dreams
D

And your bullets, they can't harm him

Nor your knives tear him apart

Humiliation killed him

God bless his little heart

Verse 3
D
lived all alone in a run down home
A
Near the side of the old railroad track
Where the trains used to run
Carryin' freight by the ton
D
Blow the whistle as Billy'd wave back
But the children around
Billy's home town
G
Seemed to have nothin' better to do
Then run around his house
D
With their tongues from their mouth
A
Make fun of that crippled old fool

and some folks they pray
A
For Jesus to rise up again
But none of these folks in their holy cloaks
D
Ever took Billy on as a friend
For pity's a crime
And it ain't worth a dime

To a person who's really in need

Just treat 'em the same
