Me And Ole Crazy Bill

(альбом: Somebody Somewhere - 1976)

Me and ole crazy Bill
We met up on a farm in Oklahoma
He was digging in the clay
I was a sleeping maid
Cooking for a dozen farm hands from all over
For sharecropper's pay
It wasn't much
But I was glad to get it
'Cause I was a baby with a baby
Getting bigger every day

I liked ole crazy Bill
The first time that he sat down at the table
He come in off the road eating with his hands
He still wore the dust from North Dakota from the rodeo
Crazy Bill was an Indian
And he told me all about him
And the wild west show

Sunshine
Raindrops falls down on every head he said
Don't cry
Sunshine's just beyond the hill

Me and ole crazy Bill
Pulled up stakes and headed for the big time
He was living on a dream
Being number one rodeoing
'Til the pain got to me down in Abilene
That's where I had my baby
And crazy Bill was treating me like I was a queen old queen

I watched ole crazy Bill
Passing out the cigars to the cowboys
Like my baby was his own
I guess that's when I knew
All that matters in this life is love and love is home
Now every time I wanna cry
I remember what he told me not so
