Billoway was a [Bm] preacher's son.
[A] Daddy [E] would visit and come along.
When the gathering started [B] talking,
that's when Billy would [Bm] take me [B] walking.
Out to the backyard we'd go walking.
Then I look into my eyes,
God knows in my eyes,

What son of a [E] preacher then?

[A] Oh yes he was, [E] yeah.
Being a Buddhist and all is easy,

When he starts to talk,
[B] he's a man.
He comes and tells me everything is alright.
