Lyrics

As I went out to take a little walk I ran across that Wild Bill Jones He was walkin' and talkin' by my true lover's side I begged him to leave her alone He said my age it is twenty-one years Too old to be controlled So I pulled out my pistol from off of my side Destroyed that poor boy's soul And it's pass around that long-necked bottle And we'll all go out on a spree For today was the last of that Wild Bill Jones Tomorrow be the last of me He kicked and he scrambled and he fell to the ground He gave one dyin' moan I threw my arms 'round my true lover's neck Sayin' honey now you're all alone And it's pass around your long-necked bottle And we'll all go on a spree For today was the last of Wild Bill Jones Tomorrow be the last of me They took me on down to Frankfurt town They locked me up in jail My friends they all tried to get me out But no one could go my bail They sent me away for twenty long years I never shall be free Both Wild Bill Jones and that long-necked bottle Have been the ruin of me And it's pass around that long-necked bottle And we'll all go out on a spree For today was the last of Wild Bill Jones Tomorrow be the last of me
