Member Bill
when you were ill
I was true to you.
Paid ev'ry bill
you owe me still
and that will never fall due,
Ev'ry thing's bright
a million's in sight
Don't you think this is fair.
I need a kind turn
got money to burn
do this for me
and we are square.

If anybody ask you
where I am
You don't know
If anybody ask you
how I am
just tell them so.
Say that I am sick
or that I'm looking fine
you may hand them most any old line
or just as far as you want to go.
You don't know

If anybody ask you
where I am
You don't know
If anybody ask you
how I am
just tell them so.
Say that I am sick
or that I'm looking fine
you may hand them most any old line
or just as far as you want to go.
You don't know

He came back
walked the track
looking for big Bill.
He'd been robbed
'twas Bill's job
that nigger with lead he'd fill.
Straight to his room
he'd find that coon
to let him know 'twas no joke,
He pushed the door wide,
a note he spied
and this is what Bill wrote.

If anybody ask you
where I am
You don't know
If anybody ask you
how I am
just tell them so.
Say that I am sick
or that I'm looking fine
you may hand them most any old line
or just as far as you want to go.
You don't know

If anybody ask you
where I am
You don't know
If anybody ask you
how I am
just tell them so.
Say that I am sick
or that I'm looking fine
you may hand them most any old line
or just as far as you want to go.
You don't know..
