Billy Hell

There was a man in Louisiana
He was born in Texarkana
He was the dangerous man I ever knew
He use to shoot everything
He never was an honest man
And the people use to call him Billy Hell

Billy Hell, Billy Hell
Now you’re paying the price in the jail
Billy Hell, oh, Billy Hell
Now you’re paying the price in the jail

He was not a bank rober, he was not even a worker
And now he’s just a rogue in the jail
I bet that all he wants is to take back all his guns
Shot down the sheriff and back home

Billy Hell, Billy Hell
Now you’re paying the price in the jail
Billy Hell, oh, Billy Hell
Now you’re paying the price in the jail

Billy Hell, Billy Hell
Now you’re paying the price in the jail
Billy Hell, oh, Billy Hell
Now you’re paying the price in the jail

But I know he won’t back home
He will live just for some months
The judge condemned him to the gallows

Billy Hell now you’re in the dead line
You will pay the price with your life
Without a gun in your hand
But a rope around your neck

Billy Hell, Billy Hell
Now you’re paying the price in the jail
Billy Hell, oh, Billy Hell
Now you’re gonna pay the price with your life
