Wild Bill Jones Lyrics

(Traditional)

As I went down for to take a little walk
I came upon that Wild Bill Jones
He was a walkin' and a talkin' by my true lover's side
And I bid him to leave her alone.

--- Banjo Instrumental ---

He said my age is twenty one
Too old to be controlled
I pulled my revolver from my side
And I destroyed that poor boy's soul.

--- Mandolin Instrumental ---

He reeled and he staggered and he fell to the groundAlison Krauss - Wild Bill Jones - http://motolyrics.com/alison-krauss/wild-bill-jones-lyrics.html
And then he gave one dying moan
He wrapped his arms around my little girl's neck
Saying, "Honey, won't you take me home?"

--- Guitar Instrumental ---

So put them handcuffs on me boys
And lead me to that freight car gate
I have no friends or relations there
No one for to go my bail.

--- Fiddle Instrumental ---

So pass around that old long necked bottle
And we'll all go on a spree
Today I saw the last of Wild Bill Jones
And tomorrow'll be the last of me...
