Arthur Russell
Bill
[Verse 1]
Bill was a man who grew too big
It didn't matter what he did
The girls would always run away
When everybody laughs at you
It can be humiliating

[Bridge]
Billy likes a cute little girl
They are lovers, we can tell
Kisses on the mouth
Holding hands and all
Look into their eyes...

[Verse 2]
Sneaking off together, running to the woods
Swimming in the river, cooking up some food
Making up religions, dropping out of school
Laughing through the summertime
Never meant to hurt nobody

[Chorus]
Angel of God
Take me along
Happy days
Quiet life
We are not alone...
[Verse 3]
He bought a gun and she fixed her dress
"I'm not afraid of Jesus Christ
Who cares about the price we pay?"
It's our little secret
And we're never, never, never going

[Chorus]
Angel of God
Take me along
Happy days
Quiet life
We are not alone...
