Lyrics for Billy Budd

Say, Billy Budd So you think you should? Oh, everyone's laughing Say, Billy Budd So you think that you should? Everyone's laughing! Since I took up with you Things have been bad Yeah, but now it's 12 years on Now it's 12 years on Yes, and I took up with you I took my job application into town Did you hear? They turned me down Yes, and it's all because of us Oh, and what was in our eyes Oh, what was in our eyes, yeah I said, Billy Budd I would happily lose Both of my legs I would lose both of my legs Oh, if it meant you could be free Oh, if it meant you could be free (Don't leave us in the dark!)
