"Billy The Bum"

Billy the bum lived by the thumb
And sang of the hobo's delight
He'd prove he [bad word] Twice as fast as the sun
By losing his shadow at night
Now he loved every girl
In this curly headed world
But no one will know it seems
For two twisted legs and a childhood disease
Left Billy just a bum in his dreams
 [bad word] ]
And he was just a gentle boy
real florescent light
Cried pennies on Sunday morning
Laughed nickels on Saturday night
And your bullets they can't harm him
Nor your knives tear him apart
Humiliation killed him
God bless his little heart

Now he lived all alone
In [bad word] home
Near the side of the old railroad track
Where the trains used [bad word] Carrying freight by the ton
And blow the whistle as Billy'd wave back
But the children around Billy's home town
Seemed to have nothin' better to do [bad word] around his house
With their tongues from their mouth
And make fun of that crippled old fool
 [bad word] 

Now some folks they wait
And some folks they pray
For Jesus to rise up again
But none of these folks
In their holy cloaks
Ever took Billy on as a friend
For pity's a crime
And it ain't worth a dime
To a person who's really in need
Just treat 'em the same
As you would your own name
Next time that your heart starts to bleed.
