Keep on the Sunny Side: June Carter Cash - Her Life in Music

Old Bill Brown was known around town 
For slippin' around at night 
He'd grab a jug and cut a rug 
Man, he'd really live it up right 


Oh, Suzy Brown finally found 
That old Bill was really hip 
She took a bucket of banana peelings 
And throwed 'em on the step 


And he went slippin' around 
Yes, he went slippin' around 
He went slippin' around 
Yes, he went slippin' around 


With a [Incomprehensible] here and a [Incomprehensible] there 
And he finally hit the floor 
[Incomprehensible] never been done 
And it won't be done no more 
And he went slippin' around 
Yes, he went slippin' around 


Bill sat in on a game one night 
Not her didn't intend to stay 
His money flew from left to right 
And he finally went away 


His shoes went here and his shirt went there 
And he finally lost his coat 
He come home about daylight 
And in a borrowed peticoat 


And he went slippin' around 
Yes, he went slippin' around 
He went slippin' around 
Yes, he went slippin' around 


His wife said, "Bill, is that you there comin' in at this hour?" 
Then she let fly between his eyes 
With porpoise hearted flour 
And he went slippin' around 
Yes, he went slippin' around 


Bill, he had a gal downtown 
His ever loving best 
He didn't dream when he met her 
She would get him in a mess 


His wife found out 
That she was not idol of his life 
She put a stop to that ratpick 
With a great big butcher knife 


Now he's through slippin' around 
Yes, he's through slippin' around 
He through slippin' around 
Yes, he through slippin' around 


His spirit rose up from the grave 
And went floating through the air 
He heard a voice from down below saying 
'You ain't goin' up there, 'cause' 


You've been slippin' around 
Yes, you've been slippin' around 
Yes, you've been slippin' around
