Cooder, Ry - Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now) Lyrics
In the town of Louisville they got a man they call Big Bad Bill
I want to tell you, he sure was tough, and he certainly did strut his stuff
He had folks all scared to death, when he walked by they held their breath
He was a fighting man, sure enough
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
Married life has changed him some how
He's the man that they all used to fear
But now the people call him sweet pappa Willie dear
Stronger than Samson I declare
Till the brown skinned mama bobbed his hair
Big Bad Bill don't fight any more
Well he washes dishes and he mops up the floor
Now he's got to see his mama every night
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
Well he used to spend his evenin's lookin' for a fight
Now he's got to see his mama every night
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now

1:28-1:30 That's ME!
Cooder is better now than ever...new album 'Prodical Son' is too awesome to miss ! (2019)
Ry Cooder is a masterful stylist❕
It’s obviously not live, actual track from the album played against muted concert clip.
why did they block out the slide part of the guitar solo?
Such a great horn section on this !
Van Halen did a pretty good cover of this too.
