A Horse Named Bill Lyrics by Willi Carlisle

The Magnolia Sessions

2024

[Intro]
One, two
[Verse 1]
I got a horse, his name is Bill
I loved that horse, I always will
He ran away all day
Also, I ran with him
[Verse 2]
He ran so fast, he could not stop
He ran into a barbershop
And fell exhaustionized - with his eye teeth
In the barber's left shoulder
[Verse 3]
And I got a gal and her name's Daisy
When she sings, the cat goes crazy
With deliriums and St. Vituses
And all kinds of cataleptics
[Verse 4]
One day she sang a song about
A man who turned himself inside out
And jumped into the river
He was so very sleepy
[Verse 5]
And I'm goin' out in the woods this year
To hunt for beer and not for deer
I am, I ain't
I been a champion sharpshootress
[Verse 6]
Yes, at shooting birds I am a beaut
There is no bird I cannot shoot
In the eye, in the ear, in the finger
And in the armpits
[Verse 7]
Here in Frisco town, there lives a whale
Well, she eats swordfish by the bail
By the ton, by the humper
By the stoner, by the spaceship
[Verse 8]
Oh, her name's Tilly, she's a peach
But don't leave food within her reach
Or babies or banjos
Or chocolate ice cream sodas
[Verse 9]
Oh, she knows her cadence when she plays
Rolls her eyes for days and days and days
By grace, and yodels
And breaks all ten commandments
[Verse 10]
Oh, she loves to laugh, and when she smiles
You see her teeth for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
And her adenoids and her hangy-down thing
And things too gross to mention
[Verse 11]
I went up in a balloon so big
All the people on Earth, they looked like a pigs
Like mice, like flies
Like floozes and like fleasens
[Verse 12]
And the balloon turned its bottom side higher
Fell in the mouth of a country squire
He made a noise like a doghound
Like an air raid siren, like dynamite
[Verse 13]
Oh, and what do you do in a case like that?
What do you do but jump on your hat?
On your eyebrow, on your toothbrush
On everything that's helpless
[Verse 1]
Oh, I got a horse, his name is Bill
I loved that horse, I always will
He ran away all day
And also, I ran with him
