Well, [G] way down yonder in [B7] Louisville,
[E7] Lived a cat named Big Bad Bill,
I [A7] wants to tell [D7] ya,
Ah he sure was [G] tough and [E7] would [A7] strutt his [D7-alt] stuff
[G] He had the folks all [B7] scared to death,
Why [E7] when he walked by they all held their breath,
[A7] He's a fighting man, sure e[D7-alt]nough
{c: }
And then [C] Bill took him[E7]self a [Am] wife,
Now he [A7] leads a different [D7] life
{c: }
[G] Big Bad [E7] Bill is [A7] sweet [D7] William [G] now,
[G] Married life done changed him some[B7]how,
He's the [C] man the town used to [Cm] fear,
Now they [G] all call him sweet pappa [E7] Willie dear,
[A7] Stronger than Samson I declare,
[D7] Til the hot head woman bobbed his hair
[G] Big Bad [E7] Bill don't [A7] fight [D7] any [G] more,
([A7] No sir [D7] no more)
[G] Doing the dishes, mopping up that [B7] floor - [Bb7] what's [A7] more
Well he [C] used to go out drinking,
[Cm] Looking for a fight,
[G] Now he gotta see that woman, [E7] every night,
[A7] Big Bad Bill is [D7] sweet William [G] now
{c: }
[G] Big Bad [E7] Bill dont [A7] fight [D7] any [G] more,
([A7] No sir [D7] no more)
[G] Doing the dishes,mopping up that [B7] floor - [Bb7] what's [A7] more
Well he [C] used to go out drinking,
[Cm] Looking for a fight,
