In the town of Louisville they got a man they call Big Bad Bill 
I wants to tell ya, he sure was tough tough, and he certainly did 
strut his stuff 
He had folks all scared to death, when he walked by they all held 
their breath 
He was a fighting man, sure enough 

Now Bill got himself a wife, and he leads a different life 

Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now 
Married life done changed him some how 
He's the man the town used to fear 
Now they all call him sweet pappa Willie dear 
Stronger than Samson I declare 
'Til the brown skinned woman 
Bobbed his hair 

Big Bad Bill don't fight any more (No, he don't) 
Doing the dishes
Mopping up that floor (Yes, he is) 
Well he used to go out drinking
Looking for a fight 
Now he gotta see that woman
Everynight 
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now 

Ah, play it boys
I likes that jazz 

Big Bad Bill don't fight any more (No, he don't) 
Doing the dishes
Mopping up that floor (Yes, he is) 
Well he used to go out drinking
Looking for a fight 
Now he gotta see that woman
Everynight 
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Doing the dishes) 
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Mop up the floor) 
Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
