Song title: Phil Ochs - Ballad Of Billie Sol

Edit By: 216.73.216.40

G
Billie Sol was a man
         C           G
From the giant Texas land
                                    D7
He put the Chamber of Commerce on a limb
G
They voted him the best
        C                 G
And the government did no less
                      D7            G
Until the I.O.U.'s of Texas fell on him
      C                          G
Stand tall, Billie Sol, we don't know you at all
                                        D7
We've taken down your pictures from the wall
      G                          C
Well, we don't want to handle an agriculture scandal
        G           D7               G
We have got to face elections in the fall
I remember when
Bill had influential friends
He celebrated Christmas every day
He filled texas banks with his fertilizer tanks
Influential friends don't die they only fade away
Stand tall, Billie Sol, we don't know you at all
We've taken down your pictures from the wall
Well, we don't want to handle an agriculture scandal
We have got to face elections in the fall
The democrats deny
And Orville Freeman sighs
He said
