Hillsburn - Billy Lyrics

I shot Billy but Billy won't die
I sank him in the lake, deep
Still he's screaming up at me

We got married in a fever
Young and so eager
In a hall all full of friends
And late that night out in some back seat
He knuckled up to me
My fever turned to ice and wind

An hour out in the sunlight
Twenty-three in the dark

I shot Billy but Billy won't die
I sank him in the lake, deep
Still he's screaming up at me

Bought a house out on the river
And I burned it to cinders
Dumped some danger down the well

Jesus washed the feet of liars
Well, I set 'em on fire
And send 'em screaming down to hell

An hour out in the sunlight
Twenty-three in the dark

I shot Billy but Billy won't die
I sank him in the lake, deep
Still he's screaming up at me
