Billy Fetch Yer Gun

Billy grew up back in the swamp

Got all his learnin' from a cajun guru

Billy learned by the birds and the bees

There ain't nothin' nature can't teach you

The lawman came from south Louisiana

Threatened Billy with either jail or school

Billy grabbed himself a stick and hit him in the head

Nothin' swings better than the old bamboo

CH (back up always sing chorus)

Billy you're troubles just begun

Billy fetch yer gun

Well Billy left the lawman the gators' fed good

But soon there were other lawmen in the hood

Billy knew the swamp better than any other man

And he shot them all down like old tin cans

Well the gators got fat and Billy got mean

When the lawman made himself lord of everything

Billy lived by the law of the swamp

If you messed with a man you can take what you got

CH

Billy thought shooting' law men was fun

Billy fetch your gun

Well it wasn't the end for Billy just yet

The lawman was hard and Billy shot all he could get

Tried to ambush them all down at their meetin' spot

But 35 was all Billy got

Billy left the world laughin' that day

Not the way he had planned

But he had something to say

He died with a note to his son in his hand

Billy Jr don't give in to the lawman

Billy Fetch Yer Gun

CH

He'll rob you of your living

Rob you lf your fun

Billy Jr go and fetch yer gun

The lawman he is the tyrants son

Billy fetch yer gun
