Back about eighteen hundred and some a Louisiana couple had a red headed son
No name soothe him Jim Jack or Joe they just called him Billy Bayou
Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go you're walkin' on quick sand and walk slow
Billy Billy Bayou watch what you say a pretty girl'll get you one of these days
[ guitar ]
Billy was a boy kinda big for a size red hair and freckles and big blue eyes
Thirteen years from the day he was born Billy fought the battle of the Little Big Horn
Billy Billy Bayou...
[ guitar ]
One said day Billy cried ho-ho I can whip the feathers of Geronimo
He smarted off the chief got mad this nearly ended our Louisiana lad
Billy Billy Bayou...
[ guitar ]
One day in eighteen-seventy-eight a pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate
He didn't know whether to stand there and run
He would up married cause he did neighter one
Billy Billy Bayou...
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days
Charley Frank Pride (1934-2020) è stato un leggendario cantante e musicista country statunitense. Nato in Mississippi da una famiglia afroamericana, Pride ha dovuto affrontare la segregazione razziale durante il suo percorso musicale. Dopo aver giocato a baseball professionistico, si è dedicato alla musica country negli anni '60, diventando uno dei primi artisti neri di successo nel genere. La sua voce potente e le sue canzoni emozionanti hanno conquistato un pubblico vasto e variegato. Tra i suoi successi più famosi ci sono "Kiss an Angel Good Mornin'", "All I Have to Offer You (Is Me)" e "Mountain of Love". Pride ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui tre Grammy Awards, ed è stato introdotto nella Country Music Hall of Fame nel 2000. La sua musica ha contribuito a rompere i confini razziali nel country music, aprendo la strada ad altri artisti afroamericani.
