Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now
The Red Hot Jazz Archive has a Real-Audio file of Emmett Miller accompanied by his Georgia Crackers singing BIG BAD BILL IS SWEET WILLIAM NOW in 1929.
I listened, and I find one line different from the transcription above:
Now Bill took himself a wife.
Now he leads a diff'rent life,
'Cause Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now.
