Big Bad Bill From Louisville In the [C]town of [A7]Louisville, They [D]got a man they call Big Bad Bill. I [G]want to tell you, he sure was [C]tough, And he [C]sure did strut his [G7]stuff. He had [C]folks all scared to [A7]death, When [D]they walked by, they held their breath. He was a [D7]mighty man, sure e-[G7]nough. Now [G7]Bill took himself a wife Now [D]he's a different [G7]guy Big Bad [C]Bill is [G7]Sweet William, [C]now. [C]Married life has changed him, some-[C7]how. Well, [F]he's the man they all [F7]used to fear, Now the [C]people call him "Sweet Poppa, Willie [A7]Dear" [D]Stronger than Samson, I declare, Until a [G]brown-skinned mama [G7]bobbed his hair. Big Bad [C]Bill don't [G7]fight any-[C]more, [C7] [F]Washes dishes, and he mops up the [E7]floor, Used to [F]spend his evenings, [F7]looking for a fight, But [C]now he's got to see his mama [A7]every night. Big Bad [C]Bill is Sweet [G7]William [C]now. Used to [F]spend his evenings, [F7]looking for a fight, But [C]now he's got to see his mama [A7]every night. Big Bad [C]Bill is Sweet [G7]William [C]now.
