Subject: RE: Lyrics for
Billy D.

Here's the verse which I remember. Obviously, it has been strongly folk-processed (i.e. forgotten).

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed-wire.
I wear a cobra snake for a necktie.
I got a little bitty house by the roadside.
Made out of rattlesnake hide.
I got a little bitty chimney build up on top.
Made out of a human skull.
Come on baby take a walk with me Eileen.
Tell me, "Who do you love. Who do you love."

For ancient folkies, Tom Rush did this on his "Take a Little Walk With Me" vinyl.

If I get a chance, I'll check and see if there are additional lyrics.
