BLUES FOR BILLIE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

Oh Billie
sweet little Billie
how I do love
to hear you sing
silly
I know it's silly
the way you make me
get all tingle-y
you didn't have much range
and though it may seem strange
how you could get so low
and then fly so high

I love you Billie
yes I love you Billie
sometimes you are silky
and sometimes hard as brass
you make me giddy
you make it so gritty
down in the city
you know you couldn't last
the pain was too great
you left it all much too late
and then you made a mistake
oh why why why

I know you had to be alone
to sing those songs from the bone
and though your heart was unknown
you tried
I know you had to be strong
to sing the blues for so long
but what was wrong was so wrong
you cried
and now it's over and done
no more songs left to be sung
only the bells to be rung
my my oh my

Oh Billie
my sweet little Billie
you know you kill me
when you talk that way
Billie
I love you Billie
you really thrill me
but you walked away
you were gone for I was born
left in the early morn
I never got a chance
to say goodbye
