billy - the ranch lyrics

billy left on friday night with twenty dollars cash
had a thousand more and a diamond on his hand
when he got back
i don’t know just where billy got that dough
sat-rday he spent in style
drinks were on the house
lincoln here, and a jackson there
suspicions were aroused
a dime was dropped and a name was named
a body soon was found
a travelin’ bible salesman on his monthly trip to town
three bullet holes
a .38 done took his soul
what do you know
no diamond ring no money roll
a quick investigation
they dragged billy to the station
and broke him down with the third degree
his alibi unraveled
judge riley banged his gavel
a 12-man jury all agreed
so he must be guilty
i knew billy spent that night
winning big at cards
and the salesman was a married man
who broke my sister’s heart
billy sits in levenworth
waiting for the gas
and i know lots of other things
but no one ever asked
so they’ll never know
swear to god they’ll never know
case is closed, that’s how the story will be told
