Old Sal said, "Hey Bill, don't be late"
This morning, so soon
Bill's sweet wife was baking bread in the morning

When she found out her Bill was dead
This morning, so soon
She cried, "Oh no, it cannot be
Oh no, it cannot be"
She cried, "Oh no, it cannot be"
They killed my Bill in the third degree
This morning, so soon
Well, they brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon
Brought him on home in a hurry-up wagon

Poor old Bill his boots were draggin'

Leave them down town girls alone
This morning, this morning, in the morning
Oh, oh
