lyrics

Old Bill Jones gonna lose his mind
If he carries on this way

He sat down on a bumblebee
Too high to know

But he'll break no mistake when you take
You're bound to fall don't stall after all
Time won't wait for you and me
Things ain't what they seem to be

And he will sleep in the deep don't weep
He'll be back again don't know when in the end
He'll find a cure for his soul
That don't take its toll

Old Bill Jones got a losing hand
But he'll play it anyway

He found himself a pretty little gal
But she had to go away

And in time he'll find a heart as kind
And the ties that bind they'll soon unwind
He'll be free to love again
Drink from the well while you can

And he might wait hesitate too late
The sun has set with regret I'll bet
He'll find a cure for his soul
That don't take its toll

Old Bill Jones gonna lose his life
If he carries on this way

But the day will come for him to fly
Across that ocean blue

Til then he might lost sight of what's right
And the price he'll pay and pay every day
As the blues fall down like rain
And it will drive the man insane

And when he tries his eyes do cry
And the tears bring fear it might take years
To find a cure for his soul
That don't take its toll
