The Ballad of Billie Sol - Phil Ochs



G

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

He said
