[evay]

Well way down yonder in Louisville
Lived a cat named Big Bad Bill
I wants ta tell ya,
Oh the cat was rough and tough, he could strut his stuff
Had the whole town scared to death
When he walked by they all held their breath
He's a fightin' man, sho' enough
But then Bill got himself a wife,
Now he leads a different life...
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
Married life done changed him somehow
He's the man the town used to fear,
Now they all call 'im Sweet Poppa Willy dear
Stronger than Samson, I declare,
'Till a brown-skinned woman's bobbed his hair
Big Bad Bill don't fight any more (no he don't)
He's doin' the dishes, and moppin' up that floor (yes he is)
Well he used to go out drinkin', lookin' for a fight,
Now he's gotta see that sweet woman ev'ry night
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
