Chorus
Big Bad Bill is sweet William now
Married life has changed him somehow
He’s the man that they all used to fear
Now the people call him Willie dear
He was stronger than Samson, I declare
Till a brown skinned Delilah bobbed his hair
Big Bad Bill don’t fight any more
Washes dishes and he mops the floor
He used to spend his evenings looking for a fight
Now he’s got to see his mama ev’ry night
‘Cause Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
