Am C G
Wally got lost in a patch of weeds,
AM C G
and they found his body floating in the reeds

Now here you come waking with a smile on your face
Am C G
Say you've found someone to love you in this loveless place,

And his name is Billy Prichard,
G F G
and he don't think you're no freak

Verse
Am C G
His daddy was a drunk and his mother a whore
Am C G
And every night another man would leave her door
Am C G
And his daddy'd take the money,
Am C G F G
and he'd go get drunk some more
Am C G
They never spared the rod, but they still spoiled the child
Am C G
On debauchery and witchcraft and everything wild
Am C G
I'm telling you now daughter that he's wicked to the core
F G
I don't want him hanging around here, girl
F G
His eyes are filled with evil
F G
He's gonna steal your heart and then your soul

Verse
Am C G
Daddy I don't believe a word you said
Am C G
Ever since the day that I learned that my brother was dead
Am C G
I've just come from Billy Pritchard's
Am C G F G
and I know why your hands are red
Am C G
He said, You took him and Billy fishing by the old oak tree
Am C G
Told them both to wait for you, you had to go pee
Am C G F G
Then you snuck up from behind, and you shot him in the head
Am C G
But you made a big mistake, father, don't you see
Am C G
They'd exchange hats underneath that oak tree
Am C G F G
You shot your own son, and you blamed it all on Billy
F G
Well I ain't gonna hang around here still,
F G
Cause your eyes are filled with evil
F G
I'm gonna tell the world and watch you hang

Am C G
Shut your mouth and come inside now, my little dove
Am C G
Get my gun, get my coat, get my gloves
Am C G
Understand that everything I do is out of love
