Slobberbone - Billy Prichard lyrics

Wally got lost in a patch of weeds, and they found his body floating in a patch of reeds He said he'd gone fishing with the boy from across the creek Now here you come waking with a smile on your face Say you've found someone to love you in this loveless place, And his name is Billy Pritchard, and he don't think you're no freak But I don't want him hanging around here, girl His eyes are filled with evil He's gonna drag you to the depths of hell His daddy was a drunk and his mother a who*e And every night another man would leave her door And his daddy'd take the money, and he'd go get drunk some more They never spared the rod, but they still spoiled the child On debauchery and witchcraft and everything wild I'm telling you now daughter that he's wicked to the core I don't want him hanging around here, girl His eyes are filled with evil He's gonna steal your heart and then your soul Oh yeah, my little dove, don't you fly too far Don't you leave my aching heart I don't want to see you leaving town I don't want to see you hanging around; Don't want to see you hanging out with that weasel Cause his eyes are filled with evil He's gonna drag you to the depths of hell Daddy I don't believe a word you said Ever since the day that I learned that my brother was dead I've just come from Billy Pritchard's and I know why your hands are red He said, You took him and Billy fishing by the old oak tree Told them both to wait for you, you had to go pee Then you snuck up from behind, and you shot him in the head But you made a big mistake, father, don't you see They'd exchange hats underneath that oak tree You shot your own son, and you blamed it all on Billy Well I ain't gonna hang around here still, Cause your eyes are filled with evil I'm gonna tell the world and watch you hang Shut your mouth and come inside now, my little dove Get my gun, get my coat, get my gloves Understand that everything I do is out of love
