Original lyrics

EN

There was a man in Louisiana He was born in Texarkana He was the dangerous man I ever knew He use to shoot everything He never was an honest man And the people use to call him Billy Hell Billy Hell, Billy Hell Now you're paying the price in the jail Billy Hell, oh, Billy Hell Now you're paying the price in the jail He was not a bank rober, he was not even a worker And now he's just a rogue in the jail I bet that all he wants is to take back all his guns Shot down the sheriff and back home Billy Hell, Billy Hell Now you're paying the price in the jail Billy Hell, oh, Billy Hell Now you're paying the price in the jail Billy Hell, Billy Hell Now you're paying the price in the jail Billy Hell, oh, Billy Hell Now you're paying the price in the jail But I know he won't back home He will live just for some months The judge condemned him to the gallows Billy Hell now you're in the dead line You will pay the price with your life Without a gun in your hand But a rope around your neck Billy Hell, Billy Hell Now you're paying the price in the jail Billy Hell, oh, Billy Hell Now you're gonna pay the price with your life
