A Horse Named Bill
C
Oh, I had a horse, and his name was Bill,
F
and when he ran, he couldn’t stand still
C G C
He ran away, one day, and also, I ran with him
He ran so fast, he could not stop
He ran into a barber shop
And fell exhaustionized, with his eye-teeth, in the barber's left shoulder
I had a gal, and her name was Daisy
When she sang, the cat went crazy
with deleriums, St. Vitis's, and all kinds of cataleptics
One day she sang, a song about
a man who turned himself inside out,
and jumped ... into the river, he was so very sleepy
I'm going out, in the woods next year
and shoot for beer, and not for deer
Well I am. . .Well I ain't ... I'm a great sharp shootress
At shooting birds, I am a bute
There is no bird, I can not shoot
In the eye, in the ear, in the teeth, and in the fingers
I went up in a balloon so big
the people on earth, looked like a pig
like a moue, like a katydid, like fly-zes, and like flea-zes
The balloon turned up, with its bottom side higher
Fell on the wife of a country squire
she made a noise, like a doghound, like a steamwhistle, and like dynamite
Oh, what could you do in a case like that
What could you do but stamp on your hat
or on your mother, on your tooth-brush, and everything that's helpless
