I met a little boy named Billy Joe, and I almost lost my mind. REFRÃO My eyes are wide o pen, but all that I can see is, chapel bells are callin for everyone but me. But I don worry cause. And then she said someone will look at me , like I looking at you, one day.. then I might find, I don want it any old way. So, I don worry cause. Mama said, Mama said (3x)
