Billy S Bones lyrics

- Music: "Pogues", McGowan -

Billy ran around with the rare old crew. And he knew an arsenal from Tottenham blue We`d be a darn sight better off if we knew where Billy`s bones are resting now Billy saw a copper and he hit him in the knee Took him down from six foot to five foot three Then he hit him fair and square in the do-re-me That copper won`t be having any family

Hey Billy son where are you now, don`t you know that we Need you now With aratata and the old kow-tow where are Billy`s bones Resting now

Billy went away with the peace keeping force `cause he Liked a bloddy good fight of course Went away in an old khaki van to the banks of the river Jordan Billy saw the Arabs and he had`em on the run when he got`em In the range of his sub machine gun Then he got the Israelis in his sights, went ra-ta-ta And they ran like Shi-ites

Hey Billy Son where are you now, One night Billy had a rare old time, laughing and singing on The Lebanon line Came back to camp not looking too pretty never even got To see the Holy City

Now Billy`s out there in the desert sun and his mother cries When the morning comes And there`s mother`s crying all over the world, for their poor Dead darling boys and girls Hey Billy son where are you now, Born on a Monday, married on a Tuesday, Drunk on a Wednesday, got plugged on a Thursday, sick on a Friday, Died on a Saturday, buried on Sunday
