Billy's lady told him let this be understood Somethin' better happen soon things don't look to good Tired of savin' pennies tryin' to make ends meet While next Monday afternoon gonna be out in the street Billy thought it over he said with a smile Everything will be alright just a little while Gotta get down to it pack my things and go He put on his tennis shoes walked out into the snow Oh Billy Tyler do you remember what you said Does your conscience get you when you're lyin' in your bed? Does it make you sorry for the things that you've done? Do you feel repentance on the tip of your tongue? Did you have to grab your things and run? She received a postcard South of England way Said I've got myself a job here at Whitesand Bay Sendin' you some money so that you can eat Everything will be alright soon be back on my feet Billy, he was lying to one who loved him most Met a well made lady who lived down by the coast Spent days and nights together, promised to be true Well, I know he'll get what's coming to him soon Oh Billy Tyler do you remember what you said Does your conscience get you when you're lyin' in your bed? Does it make you sorry for the things that you've done? Do you feel repentance on the tip of your tongue? Did you have to grab your things and run?
