《Billy and Sue》歌词

[00:00:00] Billy and Sue - B.J. THOMAS

[00:00:09] This is a story about Billy and Sue

[00:00:13] They were as in love as were any two

[00:00:16] And yet Billy had to die

[00:00:21] And when you hear the reason why

[00:00:24] You'll hang your head and cry

[00:00:29] Billy and Sue met the first day of school

[00:00:33] And ever since lived by the golden rule

[00:00:37] Beacause they'll do unto others

[00:00:41] What you wouldn't want done to you

[00:00:44] You'd have to be a fool

[00:00:49] This mutual agreement of love and trust

[00:00:53] They would travel the road

[00:00:55] To marriage or bust

[00:00:57] And when Billy was old enough to take a wife

[00:01:01] He was old enough to fight for his country

[00:01:04] And his way of life

[00:01:10] Sues letters came every day

[00:01:14] Strengthened his cause they showed him the way

[00:01:17] To fight for his country and the girl he loved

[00:01:24] That's a soilders only pay

[00:01:29] But then Billy heard no more from Sue

[00:01:33] He was worried sick but what could he do

[00:01:37] The bullets were screaming as he hugged the ground

[00:01:41] And back home Sue was running round

[00:01:49] Billy was getting less and less strong

[00:01:53] His hope his fate was almost gone

[00:01:57] And then like a miracle the letter appeared

[00:02:01] Billy tore the letter open and he read dear John

[00:02:09] A look came over Billy that would scare a ghost

[00:02:12] Familiar look seen on soldiers coast to coast

[00:02:16] And even though the air was filled with lead

[00:02:20] Billy jumped up they shot him dead

[00:02:29] Billy was buried in a far away grave

[00:02:32] It read for his country his life he gave

[00:02:36] But that epitaph was only in part

[00:02:40] He didn't die from a bullet but he died from a broken heart
