Free Cee Bye Bye Billy Baker

BYE-BYE BILLY BAKER

Chasing butterflies through the grass
Trapping fireflies in a glass
Butter and fire don’t seem to blend
But Billy Baker was my best friend

Flipping baseball cards against a wall
Raking leaves in the early fall
Hoping summer vacation wouldn’t end
And Billy Baker was my best friend

Playing little league with a first place team
Talking about both of our tomorrow’s dream
With things to borrow and things to lend
Me and Billy Baker who was my best friend

Becoming boy scouts with badges to earn
So much about young girls for us to learn
Silly little love notes he and I penned
Me and Billy Baker, my best friend

Trick or treating on Halloween
Both of us greeting seventeen
Each with a shoulder when one of us cried
And today I learned my best friend Billy  Baker died
