[Verse]
      F                  A7 
Well, way down yonder in Louisville
D
 Lived a cat named Big Bad Bill
           G
I wants to tell ya
C                F         Dm              G          C
 Ah, the cat was rough and tough, he could strut his stuff
F                  A7
Had the whole town scared to death
     D
When he walked by they all held their breath
G                           C7  B7  C7
He's a fightin' man, sure enough
         Gm          Dm     Gm
And then Bill got himself a wife
       G7                C  C7#5
Now he leads a different li-ife...

[Chorus]
F               C             F  Dm  G  C
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
F                  F7              A7
 Married life done changed him somehow
         Bb                   Bdim
He's the man the town used to fear
         F                       D7
Now they all call him Sweet Papa Willie dear
G
Stronger than Samson, I declare
         C     N.C.
Till the brown skinned woman bobbed his hair

F                  C         F  Dm  G   C
Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore   (No, no, no)
F                F7                    A7
 Doin' the dishes, and moppin' up that floor (Yes, he is)
         Bb
Well, he used to go out drinkin',
Bdim
Lookin' for a fight
       F                          D7
Now he gotta see that sweet woman every night
G               C              F  Dm
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
G  C
 Ah, play it boys,

F                     F7                    A7
