Verse
Riff
Bb               A4             Gm7
Billy was a young man gone astray
Continues after the ad
Bb               A4             Gm7
Bottle at his lips all night and day

Chorus
Bb                                
Mama said they're gonna send you 
     A4         Gm7
up the river someday
Mama said they're gonna send you up 
the river someday

Verse
Whiskey ate big holes in Billy's 
head
Summer's day he shot spud murphy 
dead
