Billy
Billy was a friend of mine
We grew up together ever since we were nine
We went to school, he was my best friend
I thought our friendship would never end
Then we left school and went up to college
He studied medicine and I studied foliage
He made touch-downs, while I played pool
Nobody ever knew which one of us was a fool
Then war broke out and he had to go
But not me, I was mentally unfit
Or so they said, so, so
When he came back, he wasn't quite the same at all
He wasn't the guy I knew
It was like talking to a wall
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Billy was a friend of mine
Grew up together ever since we were nine
We went to school, he was my best friend
Always thought our friendship would never end
Come on, Billy boy, go, go, go
Billy was a friend of mine

Billy era un amigo mío
Crecimos juntos desde que teníamos nueve
Íbamos a la escuela, él era mi mejor amigo
Pensé que nuestra amistad nunca terminaría
Luego dejamos la escuela y nos fuimos a la universidad
Él estudió medicina y yo estudié botánica
Él hacía touchdowns, mientras yo jugaba billar
Nadie sabía quién de los dos era el tonto
Luego estalló la guerra y él tuvo que irse
Pero yo no, estaba mentalmente incapacitado
O eso decían, así que, así que
Cuando regresó, no era el mismo de antes
No era el chico que conocía
Era como hablar con una pared
Sí-sí-sí-sí
Billy era un amigo mío
Crecimos juntos desde que teníamos nueve
Íbamos a la escuela, él era mi mejor amigo
Siempre pensé que nuestra amistad nunca terminaría
Vamos, Billy, ve, ve, ve
Billy era un amigo mío
