Tell old Bill when he gets home
Tell old Bill when he gets home,
leave them downtown gals alone
This morning, this evening, so soon
Old Bill's wife was baking bread
Oh, Bill's wife was baking bread
Oh, Bill's wife was baking bread
when she found out that Bill was dead
this morning, this evening, so soon
She says, no, it can't be so, this morning
it can't be so, this evening
She says, oh no, it can't be so
Bill left home about an hour ago
This morning, this evening, so soon
They brought poor Bill with
this morning, this evening, so soon
Tell old Bill when he gets home
Leave them downtown gals alone
This morning, this evening, so soon
