Billy Joe was a Ladies Man

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Just had time to put this together while Mrs Willie is out with friends, Production is rubbish as usual but it was fun to play.
Hope you enjoy. Willie

p.s. These are the words as written, maybe not as sung!!

Billy Joy was a ladies man, he fell in love every day
Mary Ellen was a cougar on the prowl
To her there was no other way

Billy Joe saw her waiting for a date
He drove up in his pick-up truck
You don't need to be waiting any more
I'm here honey, I'll change you're luck

She looked at him like he was dirt upon her shoe
Why do you wanna think I'll go with you
Just down from the hills, I can tell that from your jeans
Don't want no cowboy, I want a man of means

Billy Joe jumped back into his Ford
She'd hurt his pride, she'd cut his cord
He pulled the brim down on his cowboy hat
He wound down his windowAnd said "you aint all that"

Now Billy Joe was a man who couldn't lose
He had a temper when he had the blues
He took his shotgun that was hanging on the rack
Turned his truck around and he drove on back.

She looked at him like he was dirt upon her shoe
Why do you wanna think I'll go with you
Just down from the hills, I can tell that from your jeans
Don't want no cowboy, I want a man of means

Instrumental

Well Billy Joe he shot her down
On the pavement where she stood
And now he's in a prison cell
And his life aint so good

Another winner for me, Willie! You are such a great lyricist!

[Kenneth]

Great song Willie. Well written, I guess she won't offend Billie anymore!
I think the production sounds good too.

[Farrell Jackson]

Back for another listen.....I dig this Willie. The style reminds me of the Outlaws and a bit of Steve Miller....compliments my friend on a good song!
