Wild Bill Was A Wild One, And He Loved A Pretty Young Philly Named Josephine
C
But One Night In A Snow Storm
F C G C
Bill Didn't Come Home, And That Was The Last Time He Would Be Seen
C F
He Use To Sing Her Sweet Love Songs Of Christmas,
C G
They Walked Hand And Hand Through The Fields
C
And One Time He Picked Her A Dozen Camellias, Said I Love You For Ever
G C
My Sweet Josephine
[Chorus]
F C G
Camellias For Christmas
F C G
She Cried More Tears Than Stars Up In The Sky
Am F
She Waited There Night After Night
C F G C G
Praying Someday She Might See Him Again
[Verse]
C G
Now Year After Year, And Tear After Tear, She Just Couldn't Give Up On Bill
G C F C
But Her Father Was Certain That He'd Never Come Back
C
Demanded She'd Marry Some Boy Named Badgewell
C G
Well At Church It Was Fatal With All Sorts Of Family, They Were So Happy For Her
C F C
But She Cried Tears Of Sorrow, She Prayed That She Could Go
C
Far Far Away With Her True Love Bill
[Chorus]
F C G
Camellias For Christmas
F C G
She Cried More Tears Than Stars Up In The Sky
Am F
She Waited There Night After Night
C F G C G
Praying Someday She Might See Him Again
[Verse]
C
And That's When It Happened, She Heard His Horse Whinnying, She Heard His Sweet
C G
Love Song Again
C F C
Camellias Started Falling, Clean Out Of The Blue Sky, And There Before Her Green Eyes
C
Was Bill's Texas Grin
[Outro]
F C G C G
Camellias For Christmas
C G
Bill Rode That Old Horse Straight Down A Lighting Bolt
Am F
He Told Her That He'd Come Home
C F G C G
As He Swept Her Up Into His Arms, Rode Off To The Stars
C G C
Wild Bill Was A Wild One, And He Loved A Pretty Young Philly Named Josephine
