Billie Watts


















Billie piped up and said
What's all this, this ain't right
I shan't kill my captors

 Willie Watts, Willie Watts

What a guy was Willie Watts!

Where's Watts gone for how long

I can't see him in Oakhill town


Willie Watts was a pipe maker

Blowing smoke

Into the air

But then that big old chimney

blew out his career


Willie turned to thieving

And stole though still believing

That he must survive

To keep on tryin' to follow the Lord's ear


Oh Willie Watts was put upon

A ship bound for Australia

He became Willie the Wizard of Oz

But that yellow bring road

Held many a twist and turn
