Well some people said it was cocaine,
And some people claimed it was gin,
But I know the girl and the dew-house man
That done my brother in.
They put the last clean shirt
On my Poor Brother Bill.
They put the last clean shirt
On my Poor Brother Bill.
You know that they found him in the back seat
Of an old abandoned Ford.
But as I touched the hand of my Brother Bill,
It was a stiff as a running board
They put the last clean shirt
On my Poor Brother Bill.
They put the last clean shirt
On my Poor Brother Bill.
Well the preacher said, "He's gone now,
Gone to another place."
But as they lowered him down into the ground,
I felt a tear trickle down my face.
They put the last clean shirt
On my Poor Brother Bill.
They put the last clean shirt
On my Poor Brother Bill.
You know that the preacher said, "He's gone now
Gone to another place."
They lowered him down in the cold black ground,
I felt a tear trickle down my face.
That was the last clean shirt
On my Poor Brother Bill.
There goes the last clean shirt
On my Poor Brother Bill.
So long, Billy.
