Bedhoppin’ Billy and Hillbilly Hank
I’ve heard a crazy tale, I’m surprised you haven’t heard
The story of two brothers who went and killed the third
Ol’ One Eyed Winkin’ WIllie, they say was his name
Played a round of roulette, but died, oh what a shame
Bedhoppin’ Billy and Hillbilly Hank
Truckin’ o’er the land with a gas guzzlin’ tank
Oh, Bedhoppin’ Billy and Hillbilly Hank
When their time is over, the lord the world will thank
They spent their lives, in a haze, stacking’ bails of hay
Smokin’ in the sun and drinking’ whisky most the day
Goin’ out, chasin’ rabbits, with a double-barrelled gun
Settin’ rounds off in the wild, and dancin’ havin’ fun
I’ve heard some crazy stories, I’ve heard some nasty jokes
Spread around the town about those two toothless blokes
They like to make up rumours, they like to make a fuss
They like to spit out baccy, but most they like to cuss
Bedhoppin’ Billy and Hillbilly Hank
Sick o’ sittin’ in slums, so they went and robbed a bank
One night they got together and hatched a wretched plot
Alas, one thing missing; trust had been forgot
You see Bedhoppin’ Billy, wanted all the loot
He undid the shoelace on his brother’s torn ol’ boot
So that when Hillbilly Hank, tried to get away
He realised something was afoot, something like foul play
Oh, Bedhoppin’ Billy trucked across the land
Spendin’ lots o’ cash and feelin’ mighty grand
One day, in a tavern, he was about to splash the cash
When Hillbilly Hank appeared, bringing a backlash
Bedhoppin’ Billy and Hillbilly Hank
One day went to blows, both drew a blank
Oh, Bedhoppin’ Billy and Hillbilly Hank
Made themselves walk, walk they’re own gangplank
Oh, beer swillin’
Bed hoppin’
Steak grillin’
Cowboys
Whip saddlin’
Spur straddlin’
Mule ridin’
Wild boys
Bedhoppin’ Billy and Hillbilly Hank
Truckin’ o’er the land with a gas guzzlin’ tank
Oh, Bedhoppin’ Billy and Hillbilly Hank
When their time is over, the lord the world will thank
