Lyrics:

The snowstorm blankets Cinncinnati
A black crow flies straight to my window
He looks me in the eye and tells me
The price for this will bring you sorrow
Billy Joe, I cast a shadow, from the darkness in my soul
Billy Joe, I lost control, the little girl who can’t say no
The bus pulls in another city
Wake up and don’t know where we are
Four months without a loving shoulder
At night I cannot fight the loving you start
Billy Joe, I cast a shadow, from the darkness in my soul
Billy Joe, I lost control, it was just a passing whimsical…
Billy Joe, Billy Joe, Billy Joe
Billy Joe, Billy Joe, Billy Joe
The price for this will bring you sorrow…
Billy Joe, I cast a shadow, from the darkness in my soul
Billy Joe, you think you know - once burned twice sociological
Billy Joe, don’t be cold, my mistakes are no worse than yours
Billy Joe, this lonely road, conjures up the inner ghosts
Billy Joe, I let you go, spread my legs to ease this woe
Billy Joe, It was just a moment, don’t you see that I am yours
Billy Joe, Billy Joe, Billy Joe
