[Verse]
      F                  A7
Well, way down yonder in Louisville
D
 Lived a cat named Big Bad Bill
           G
I wants to tell ya
C                F         Dm   
 Ah, the cat was rough and 
           G          C
tough, he could strut his stuff
F                  A7
Had the whole town scared to death
     D
When he walked by they all held 
their breath
G                           C7  
He's a fightin' man, sure enough
B7  C7

         Gm          Dm     Gm
And then Bill got himself a wife
       G7                C  C7#5
Now he leads a different li-ife...

[Chorus]
F               C             F  
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
Dm  G  C

 Married life done changed him

         Bb                   Bdim
He's the man the town used to fear

Now they all call him Sweet Papa 
D7

Stronger than Samson, I declare

Till the brown skinned woman bobbed 
his hair

F                  C         F

Dm  G   C

F                F7              
 Doin' the dishes, and moppin' up
      A7

         Bb
Well, he used to go out drinkin',
Bdim
Lookin' for a fight
       F                          
Now he gotta see that sweet woman
