[00:00:00] The Ides of Texas - Chad Mitchell Trio

[00:00:00] Written by：Fred Ebb N. Martin Cole Porter

[00:00:06] Some of America's most beautiful ballads

[00:00:10] Come from the land of the sagebrush and sun

[00:00:13] The great southwest

[00:00:16] You've heard how us folks down in Texas

[00:00:21] Boast of our home in the west

[00:00:26] You've heard us a sayin' in Texas

[00:00:31] That things are the biggest and best

[00:00:37] Well a few months ago in the papers

[00:00:42] A fabulous story come out

[00:00:47] Which proves that us folks down in Texas

[00:00:53] Know what we're talking about

[00:00:58] Here's to a guy with a big Texas smile

[00:01:05] Who knows what it means to have real Texas style

[00:01:12] Here's to a fella who couldn't think small

[00:01:19] Here's to the biggest embezzler of all

[00:01:26] Billie Sol Estes we're proud of you son

[00:01:29] Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Billie

[00:01:32] You had to be Texan to do what you done

[00:01:36] Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Sol

[00:01:38] While other kids saved up their nickels and dimes

[00:01:41] For jellybeans liq'rice and fudge

[00:01:45] Well Billie saved too

[00:01:46] And when he had enough

[00:01:48] He bought him a federal judge

[00:01:51] While still in his teens he was very perplexed

[00:01:54] As to what field his fortune was hid

[00:01:57] His uncle suggested he go into steel

[00:02:00] And that's just what Billie boy did

[00:02:03] Billie Sol Estes that boy really cooks

[00:02:07] Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Billie

[00:02:09] He had one shining purpose

[00:02:11] And two sets of books

[00:02:13] Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Sol

[00:02:16] There once was a senator bill tried to bribe

[00:02:19] So bill had a wonderful notion

[00:02:21] What a friend we have

[00:02:23] He sent him a yacht but that wasn't enough

[00:02:27] So Billie boy threw in an ocean

[00:02:30] Billie Sol Estes we're proud of you mate

[00:02:33] Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Billie

[00:02:36] It's hombres like you that make Texas so great

[00:02:39] Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Sol

[00:02:44] B is for the billions he's been bilkin'

[00:02:49] Good ole billion bilkin' Billie

[00:02:51] I is to indemnify his loss

[00:02:55] They use a lot of ammonia up there Billie

[00:02:57] That's why they call it the white house

[00:02:59] L is for the loans from Uncle Sammy

[00:03:04] Why thank ye cousin orville

[00:03:06] Then double l just like in double cross

[00:03:14] I is for the interest he's accruin'

[00:03:18] Praise the Lord and pass the fertilizer Billie

[00:03:21] E is for the eggheads he outsmarts

[00:03:26] Put them all together you've got Billie Sol

[00:03:32] Whose initials are emblazed on our hearts

[00:03:37] B. S.

[00:03:41] Billie Sol Estes we're proud of you boy

[00:03:44] Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Billie

[00:03:47] Next to you Jimmy Hoffa is Lord Fauntleroy

[00:03:50] Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Sol

[00:03:53] Now they're gonna take Billie away to the clink

[00:03:56] And the way things look now it appears

[00:03:59] For all of the wheelin' and dealin' he's done

[00:04:02] He'll get three thousand four hundred years

[00:04:12] And the day they lead old Billie away

[00:04:18] Why each Texan will take off his hat

[00:04:23] For who but a Texan

[00:04:25] In all this wide world

[00:04:28] Could pull down a sentence like that

[00:04:31] Billie Sol Estes you're really a doll

[00:04:34] Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Billie Billie

[00:04:37] There's Houston and Crockett

[00:04:38] And now Billie Sol

[00:04:41] And remember Billie boy

[00:04:42] We're behind you all the way

[00:04:44] Me and Ladybug

[00:04:45] Hey Billie Billie hey Billie Sol Estes
