Billy Tyler

Billy's lady told him let this be understood
Somethin' better happen soon things don't look to good
Tired of savin' pennies tryin' to make ends meet
While next Monday afternoon gonna be out in the street

Billy thought it over he said with a smile
Everything will be alright just a little while
Gotta get down to it pack my things and go
He put on his tennis shoes walked out into the snow

Oh Billy Tyler do you remember what you said
Does your conscience get you when you're lyin' in your bed?
Does it make you sorry for the things that you've done?
Do you feel repentance on the tip of your tongue?
Did you have to grab your things and run?

She received a postcard South of England way
Said I've got myself a job here at Whitesand Bay
Sendin' you some money so that you can eat
Everything will be alright soon be back on my feet

Billy, he was lying to one who loved him most
Met a well made lady who lived down by the coast
Spent days and nights together, promised to be true
Well, I know he'll get what's coming to him soon
Oh Billy Tyler do you remember what you said

Does your conscience get you when you're lyin' in your bed?
Does it make you sorry for the things that you've done?
Do you feel repentance on the tip of your tongue?
Did you have to grab your things and run?
