Billy Jack

Just out of Monday

Run into a friend

Down the street, down the street

Where I live (Where I live)

Sad things begin

I could feel it from within

From the message, from the message

He had to give (He had to give)

'Bout a buddy of mine

Running out of time (He's running out of time)

Somebody past noon

Shot into the room

And now the man no longer lives

Too bad about him

Too sad about him

Don't get me wrong

The man is gone

But it's a wonder he lived this long

Too bad about him (Too bad about him)

Too sad about him (Too sad about him)

Don't get me wrong

The man is gone

But it's a wonder he lived this long

Up in the city they called him Boss Jack

Down home he was an alley cat

Didn't know nothing about being black

Ah, Billy Jack

Up in the city they called him Boss Jack

Down home he was an alley cat

Paul didn't know nothing about being black

Ah, Billy Jack, Billy Jack

Can't be no fun, can't be no fun

To be shot, shot with a hand gun

Your body sprawled out, you without a doubt

People running out, there on the floor (There on the floor)

Sad bloody mess

Shot all up Paul in his chest (Shot up in his chest)

A one sided duel, gun and a fool

What a way to go (What a way to go)

Too bad about him, ah

Too sad about him

Don't get me wrong

The man is gone

But it's a wonder how he lived this long

Too bad about him

Ooh-ooh, too sad about him

Don't get me wrong

The man is gone

But it's a wonder he lived this long

Up in the city they called him Boss Jack

Down home he was an alley cat

Didn't know nothing about being black

Ah, Billy Jack, ah, Billy Jack

Up in the city they called him Boss Jack

Down home he was an alley cat

Oh, didn't know nothing about being black

Oh, Billy Jack, Billy Jack

Up in the city they called him Boss Jack

Now down home, he was an alley cat

Didn't know nothing about being black

We call the man Billy Jack

Oh, Billy Jack

Up in the city they called him Boss Jack, yeah

Down home he was an alley cat, Billy Jack

Didn't know nothing about being black

Ah, Billy Jack, Billy Jack

Ah, Billy Jack, ah, Billy Jack

Billy Jack, Billy Jack

A one sided duel, a one sided duel

A gun and a fool, hmm-hmm, what a way to go (What a way to go)

What a way to go (What a way to go)
