Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)
In the town of Louisville
They got a man called Big Bad Bill
Let me tell you, boy, he was tough, brother, he was rough
He had folks all scared to death
When he'd walk by, they'd hold their breath
He was a fightin' man sure enough
Well, Bill took himself a wife
Now he leads a different life
Cause Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
And married life has changed him somehow
He's a man folks all used to fear
Now they call him Willie dear
Stronger than Sampson, I declare
Til the brown skinned Delilah bobbed his hair
Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore
Just washes dishes and he mops the floor
Why, he's the red hot papa that you heard about
Till an asbestos Mama put his fire out
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
They got a man called Big Bad Bill
Let me tell you, boy, he was tough, brother, he was rough
He had folks all scared to death
When he'd walk by, they'd hold their breath
He was a fightin' man sure enough
Well, Bill took himself a wife
Now he leads a different life
Cause Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
And married life has changed him somehow
He's a man folks all used to fear
Now they call him Willie dear
Stronger than Sampson, I declare
Til the brown skinned Delilah bobbed his hair
Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore
Just washes dishes and he mops the floor
Why, he's the red hot papa that you heard about
Till an asbestos Mama put his fire out
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
