Billy was a friend of mine
We grew up together ever since we were nine
We went to school, he was my best friend
And I thought our friendship would never end
Then we left school and went up to collage
He studied medicine, while I studied foilage
He made touch-downs, while I played pool
And no one could figure out, which one of us was the fool
Then war broke out and he had to go
But not me, I was mentally unfit or so they say, so, so
When he came back, he wasn’t quite the same
He wasn’t the guy I knew, it was like talking to a wall
Billy was a friend of mine
We grew up together ever since we were nine
We went to school, he was my best friend
And I thought our friendship would never end
Come on Billy boy, Go, Go, go.
