Billie Sol was a man
C G
From the giant Texas land
D7
He put the Chamber of Commerce on a limb
G
They voted him the
best
C G
And the government did no less
D7
G
Until the I.O.U.'s of Texas fell on him
C G
Stand tall, Billie Sol, we don't know you at all
D7
We've taken down your pictures from the wall
G C
Well,
we don't want to handle an agriculture scandal
G D7 G
We
have got to face elections in the fall
I remember when
Bill had influential
friends
He celebrated Christmas every day
He filled texas banks with his fertilizer
tanks
Influential friends don't die they only fade away
Stand tall, Billie Sol, we don't
know you at all
We've taken down your pictures from the wall
Well, we don't want to handle
an agriculture scandal
We have got to face elections in the fall
The democrats
deny
And Orville Freeman sighs
