I grew up in the mountains, where the snakes had big long legs.
Bulldogs had rubber teeth, and roosters laid square eggs.
I shaved my beard and mustache the morning I was born.
And that night I beat my old man to his rye and corn.

CHORUS
Oh, I'm a truthful fellow. They call me True Blue Bill.
I've never told a falsehood. And you bet I never will.

I used to be a flyer, and in my aeroplane,
I flew across to Paris, and started home again.
When I got half way over, the doggone motor balked,
So I let her sit up there, and I got out and walked!

CHORUS
Oh, I'm a truthful fellow. They call me True Blue Bill.
I've never told a falsehood. And you bet I never will.

CLOSING VERSE
The father of our country, could never tell a lie.
And he was my great-uncle, so I ask you why should I.
