In the town of Louieville Lived a man they called Big Bad Bill I want to tell you  he sure was tough   He certainly did strut that stuff He had folks scared to death; When he walked by they held their breath He was a fightin’ man sure  enough Now Bill took himself a wife Just to lead a dif’frent life Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now        Married life has changed him somehow He’s the man that they all used to fear Now the people call him sweet Papa Willy Dear Stronger than Samson I declare Til a soft-skinned Delilah bobbed his hair    Big Bad Bill don’t fight anymore      Washes    dishes and he mops up the floor Used to spend his ev’nings lookin’ for a fight Now he’s got to see his momma ev’ry night Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
