            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 
 The death of bill bailey was no surprise to me 
If you knew him like I knew 
Then I know you would agree. 
His friends all saw it coming 
They knew the end was near 
I was taken by his cunning 
Late in the autumn last year. 
News of his killing 
Had traveled across this land 
Folks said it was fortune 
That he drew the dead man's hand. 
He was handsome as he was charming 
Boy, he worked these mountain towns 
'til one night when the party ended 
Bill bailey was lying down. 
Many times I've cried 
Since bill bailey died 
He wasn't one to listen 
And he couldn't take good advice. 
It's funny how I miss him 
And the way he sung his songs 
Bill bailey was my friend 
And then he done me wrong. 
I bought him a marble headstone 
And I buried him in the cold 
On a quiet winter's morning 
As the sun shined like gold. 
A young and green-eyed woman 
Appeared through the haze 
She asked if I knew bill bailey 
I just said, 'all his debts had been paid.'
