Billy Prichard

Wally got lost in a patch of weeds
And they found his body face down floating in the reeds
He said he's gone fishing with that boy from across the creek
Now here you come a walking with a smile on your face
You say you found someone to love you in this loveless place
And his name is Billy Pritchard and he don't think you're no freak
Well I don't want him hanging around here girl
Cause his eyes are filled with evil
He's gonna drag you to the depths of hell
Yeah his daddy was a drunk and his mother a whore
And every night another man would leave her door
And his daddy'd take the money and he'd go get drunk some more
And they never spared the rod but they still spoiled the child
On debauchery and witchcraft and everything wild
I'm telling you now daughter that he's wicked to the core, the core
And I don't want him hanging around here girl
Cause his eyes are filled with evil
He's gonna steal your heart and then your soul
Oh yeah my little dove, don't you fly too far
Don't you leave my aching heart
I don't wanna see you leaving town
I don't wanna see you hanging around
Don't wanna see you hanging out with that weasel
Cause his eyes are filled with evil
He's gonna drag you to the depths of hell
Daddy I don't believe a word you've said
Ever since the day I learned that my brother was dead
I've just come from Billy Pritchard's
And I know why your hands are red
You said you took him and Billy fishing by the old oak tree
Told them both to wait for you, you had to go pee
Then you snuck up from behind and you shot him in the head
But you made a big mistake Pa, now don't you see
That they exchanged hats underneath that oak tree
You shot your own son and you blamed it all on Billy
I ain't gonna hang around here still
Cause your eyes are filled with evil
I'm gonna tell the world and watch you hang
Shut your mouth and come inside now my little dove
Get my gun, get my coat, get my gloves
Understand that everything I do is out of love
Cause I'm out of love
