The snowstorm blankets Cinncinnati

A black crow flies straight to my window

He looks me in the eye and tells me

The price for this will bring you sorrow

Billy Joe, I cast a shadow, from the darkness in my soul

Billy Joe, I lost control, the little girl who can’t say no

The bus pulls in another city

Wake up and don’t know where we are

Four months without a loving shoulder

At night I cannot fight the loving you start

Billy Joe, I cast a shadow, from the darkness in my soul

Billy Joe, I lost control, it was just a passing whimsical…

Billy Joe, Billy Joe, Billy Joe

Billy Joe, Billy Joe, Billy Joe

The price for this will bring you sorrow…

Billy Joe, I cast a shadow, from the darkness in my soul

Billy Joe, you think you know

once burned twice sociological

Billy Joe, don’t be cold

my mistakes are no worse than yours

Billy Joe, this lonely road, conjures up the inner ghosts

Billy Joe, I let you go, spread my legs to ease this woe

Billy Joe, It was just a moment

don’t you see that I am yours

Billy Joe, Billy Joe, Billy Joe
