- Big Bad Bill (is Sweet William Now) LyricsBig Bad Bill is Sweet William now
Married life done changed him some how
He's the man the town used to fear
Now they all call him sweet pappa Willie dear
Stronger than Samson I declare
'Til the brown skinned woman
Bobbed his hair
Big Bad Bill dont fight any more (No, he don't)
Doing the dishes/Mopping up that floor (Yes, he is)
Well he used to go out drinking/Looking for a fight
Now he gotta see that woman/Everynight
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
Ah/Play it boys/I likes that jazz
Big Bad Bill don't fight any more (No, he don't)
Doing the dishes/Mopping up that floor (Yes, he is)
Well he used to go out drinking/Looking for a fight
Now he gotta see that woman/Everynight
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Doing the dishes)
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Mop up the floor)
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
Married life done changed him some how
He's the man the town used to fear
Now they all call him sweet pappa Willie dear
Stronger than Samson I declare
'Til the brown skinned woman
Bobbed his hair
Big Bad Bill dont fight any more (No, he don't)
Doing the dishes/Mopping up that floor (Yes, he is)
Well he used to go out drinking/Looking for a fight
Now he gotta see that woman/Everynight
Ah/Play it boys/I likes that jazz
Big Bad Bill don't fight any more (No, he don't)
Doing the dishes/Mopping up that floor (Yes, he is)
Well he used to go out drinking/Looking for a fight
Now he gotta see that woman/Everynight
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Doing the dishes)
