Billy and the Sugarloaf Mountain Lyrics

Now the sheriff, he rode up sugarloaf mountain
He was looking for Billy, been a Billy bad boy
He just shot his woman and his family
Now that's what you get for being in Billy boy's way
Bad boy Billy, oh Billy bad boy
That dirty dope won't hide anybody away
Bad boy Billy, oh Billy bad boy
That mountain won't hide anybody away

Now Billy on the mountain he rode one for the road
And another, and another, and another
Till his eyes, they started to explode
And the voice of the Lord became a distant laughter
Bad boy Billy, oh Billy bad boy
That dirty dope won't hide anybody away
The view may seem quite nice, but you're as cold as ice
That stinking spliff won't hide anybody away

Billy hears the bell outside his prison wall
Tomorrow morning he'll be dead for evermore
Says Billy "I'd rather die before my time
Than serve sentence for this God-awful crime"
Bad boy Billy, oh Billy bad boy
That dirty spliff won't hide anybody away
The view may seem quite nice, but you're as cold as ice
That dirty dope wont hide anybody
That dirty stinking c**e won't hide anybody
Those dirty rotten guns won't hide anybody away
