<pre><font size='+2'>BILLY THE BUM lyrics JOHN PRINE</font><br>Billy the bum lived by the thumb<br />
And sang of the hobo`s delight<br />
He`d prove he could run<br />
Twice as fast as the sun<br />
By losing his shadow at night<br />
Now he loved every girl<br />
In this curly headed world<br />
But no one will know it seems<br />
For two twisted legs and a childhood disease<br />
Left Billy just a bum in his dreams<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
And he was just a gentle boy<br />
A real florescent light<br />
Cried pennies on Sunday morning<br />
Laughs nickels on Saturday night<br />
And your bullets they can`t harm him<br />
Nor your knives tear him apart<br />
Humiliation killed him<br />
God bless his little heart<br />
<br />
<br />
Now he lived all alone<br />
In a run down home<br />
Near the side of the old railroad track<br />
Where the trains used to run<br />
Carrying freight by the ton<br />
And blow the whistle as Billy`d wave back<br />
But the children around Billy`s home town<br />
Seemed to have nothin` better to do<br />
Then run around his house<br />
With their tongues from their mouth<br />
And make fun of that cripped old fool<br />
<br />
<br />
(Repeat chorus)<br />
<br />
<br />
Now some folks they wait<br />
And some folks they pray<br />
For Jesus to rise up again<br />
But none of these folks<br />
In their holy cloaks<br />
Ever took Billy on as a friend<br />
For pity`s a crime<br />
And it ain`t worth a dime<br />
To a person who`s really in need<br />
Just treat `em the same<br />
As you would your own name<br />
Next time that your heart starts to bleed<br />
<br />
<br />
(Repeat chorus)<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/billy_the_bum_lyrics-john_prine.html" target='_blank'>BILLY THE BUM lyrics JOHN PRINE</a></pre>

Billy the bum lived by the thumb
And sang of the hobo`s delight
He`d prove he could run
Twice as fast as the sun
By losing his shadow at night
Now he loved every girl
In this curly headed world
But no one will know it seems
For two twisted legs and a childhood disease
Left Billy just a bum in his dreams

Chorus:
And he was just a gentle boy
A real florescent light
Cried pennies on Sunday morning
Laughs nickels on Saturday night
And your bullets they can`t harm him
Nor your knives tear him apart
Humiliation killed him
God bless his little heart

Now he lived all alone
In a run down home
Near the side of the old railroad track
Where the trains used to run
Carrying freight by the ton
And blow the whistle as Billy`d wave back
But the children around Billy`s home town
Seemed to have nothin` better to do
Then run around his house
With their tongues from their mouth
And make fun of that cripped old fool

(Repeat chorus)

Now some folks they wait
And some folks they pray
For Jesus to rise up again
But none of these folks
In their holy cloaks
Ever took Billy on as a friend
For pity`s a crime
And it ain`t worth a dime
To a person who`s really in need
Just treat `em the same
As you would your own name
Next time that your heart starts to bleed

(Repeat chorus)
