[Verse 1]
F F A7 A7
Well, way down yonder in Louisville,
D D
Lived a cat named Big Bad Bill,
D D G G
I wants to tell ya,
C C F F Dm Dm G G C C
Ah the cat was rough and tough and would strut his stuff,

Had the whole town scared to death,
D D
When he walked by they all held their breath,
G G C7 C7 B7 B7 C7 C7
He's a fighting man, sure enough,
Gm Gm C7 C7
And then Bill got himself a wife,
G7 G7 C C C7 C7
Now he leads a different life...

C C
Til the brown skinned woman bobbed his hair,
F F C C F F Dm Dm G G C C
Big Bad Bill don't fight any more,(No he don't)
F F A7 A7
Doing the dishes, mopping up that floor, (Yes he is)
Bb Bb
Well he used to go out drinking,

Looking for a fight,
F F D7 D7
Now he gotta see that sweet woman, every night,
