Brother Bill

Текст песни Louis Armstrong feat Bing Crosby - Brother Bill

Me and Brother Bill went hunting (Two nimrods)
Up in the woods of the Eastern Bay (Yeah, that's nice country)
The reason why we went up there
We thought we could catch some game (It abounds)

As me and Brother Bill were hunting (Who's gettin' the jug?)
Way in the middle of the night
We shot at somethin' looked like a grizzly bear
And the doggone thing turned white (That ain't right)

Oh, I dropped that gun (Time to quit)
And away I run (I mean lickety-split)
Brother Bill said, "Boy, what's the matter with you?"
Had he known like me, he would've run some too

I run so fast, they said (You was cuttin' on out)
They couldn't catch me all day (Ain't no way)
The way I run across that field
Oh, you couldn't catch me with automobile

I heard Brother Bill got so excited (Sure did)
He really took a shot at you (Gee)
I heard the bullet whizzed just past your ear
And that's when you really flew (Heh)

I heard you run until you was exhausted
Your feet were draggin' on the ground
I said, "Big feet, come on and do your stuff (Look out)
'Cause we Alabama bound" (Oh, walk it)

Oh, I dropped that gun (Have none, will travel)
And away I run (Over sand and gravel)
Brother Bill said, "Boy, what's the matter with you?"
"Don't know where you're going, but I'm going too"

We made such the speed of light
Sort of an earthbound satellite
We became the first four-legged jet
Pictures in the main Gazette

Somewhere we still running yet
And mostly uphill, me and Brother Bill
