Me and Billy Barnum

	作曲 : Woodward
	In 1912, I was only a boy
	Hardly 10 years old
	The summer was dry, the sun in the sky
	Where secrets burn like matches
	In my Sunday best, I went down for a walk
	To Billy Barnum's house
	He was alone, no one was home
	So I had an idea
	I said to Billy, "let's go walking down in the ravine
	There's no one here for miles so we never will be seen
	If your folks are in Peoria, they won't be back for hours
	So let's go have some fun."
	We walked down through the tangle of trees
	I lost my bearing twice
	But then we emerged, the top of the earth
	And watched in silent wonder
	We stood tall on the edge of the bridge
	When a gust of wind blew through
	I stumbled and weaved, and reached for his sleeve
	To try and find my balance
	But Billy lost his footing and he slipped off of the edge
	He caught himself with one hand on an overhanging ledge
	But his strength would only last him for a minute, maybe two
	Then he crashed down in the river
	He crashed down in the river
	A shallow grave on the outskirts of town
	Is where I laid him down
	A secret it's stayed, what happened that day
	With me and Billy Barnum
	With me and Billy Barnum
