childrens. Billy saves the day poem like |
Now, sit dow’ ‘roun’ I tell ya a tell, Of Big-o-Bill out by dat der hill. Now as legend tell, It was once a mine Pulled out gold, der mighty fine. Billy was born with wheels on his feet Runnin’ down ‘erbody he meet Strong lil’ kid, caus by ten He’d wrasled out a whole bear den By age tweny’ three Was as big as a tree Pick up logs like sticks Hop ‘or mounts jus’ fo’ kicks Big-o-Billy swing no pick axe, Blow dynamite, o lay down tracks, He ran a mine caw’ all da way down, Brung back up, nuf’ gold buy a town. Worken’ in da’ mine riden’ up an down Ran a cross a guy he never seen roun’ Man wore a hat, had a piggish nose Smelled real bad, had jus’ two toes With a oink-like voice the pig-man said “ Nex’ man walk by, I’ll drop ‘im dead.” Billy hop out his cart Poked the pig right in the hart. Billy got real big and dis’ he say “Step off, Pig, That aint da’ way” The piggy man puffed up his size For a sec, this took Billy fo’ surprise The pig man pounced biten’ fo’ Billys head If he hadn’t moved he’d a been dead Then he pulled back his arm and with a wild puch Made he Pig man ta bacon and made ‘erbody lunch Now ‘der be many a tale ‘bout Billy ‘an how he fell But no mater what ya ‘body tell This is how it happen’. How Billy fell Now da’ man in charge had a daughter Everybody said marry Billy, she ‘ohta. One day she was hanggen’ round, Tripp’ an fell right under the groun’ Bill came racenn’ roun’ an’ roun’ Grab’ his lucke’ car, an’ head on down. One-hunner’ miles an hour, at ninte’ degrees. ‘erbody up top shaken’ der knees waiten’ en silence fo’ ol’ Billy. When the nex’ day come, what dey see, Bride on shoulder is ol’ Billy. “ I’m caught in love” them two say Dey get hiched deah nex’ day At the big show, the priest did say. “Any agaist this marriage, speak or never say” The brides dad raised his hand “She my daughter, man” “It’s okay poppy” she did say, “we jus’ live crows da’ way” with tears the man sat down, love’s circle fully aroun’ Now a few year’ later, Baby an’ all Billy’s hole family took dat’ fall We all waited days In a dope-ish haze. Den we herd a ‘Thunk’ Come up from dat der cave, Billy was gone, maken’ dis A good ol’ song Bill and friends never seen again Never hangin’ roun’ ‘cepet down real China Town. Kid beware Now her’ come a scare Bill an Co. ya’ can still hear Come time an big-o ‘quake Put your ear to the hill an’ wait The rumblen’ ya’ hear And the dirt in der’ It Billy’s cart rumblen’ roun’ Way down der, under da’ groun’ |
