Tell Old Bill - Joni Mitchell

Tell old Bill when he gets home this morning

Tell old Bill when he gets home this evening

Tell old Bill when he gets home

Leave those downtown girls alone

This morning, this evening, so soon

Old Bill’s wife she was bakin' bread this morning

Old Bill’s wife she was bakin' bread this evening

Old Bill’s wife she was bakin' bread

When she found out that Bill was dead

This morning, this evening, so soon

She said oh no it can’t be so this morning

She said oh no it can’t be so this evening

She said oh no it can’t be so

Bill left home about an hour ago

This morning, this evening, so soon

They brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon this morning

Brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon this evening

Brought Bill home in a hurry-up wagon

Brought him home with his feet a-draggin'

This morning, this evening, so soon

Tell old Bill when he gets home

Leave those downtown girls alone

This morning, this evening, so soon

This morning, this evening, so soon
