Verse:

           G                                Cadd9
Oh Billy Brown needed a place, somewhere to go.
              G                          C 
He found an island off the coast of Mexico

Leaving his lover and his family behind.

Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind.

And on his journey and his travels on the way,
          G                              C 
He met a girlie who was brave enough to say,
                 G                               C 
When they made love he shared the burden of his mind.
