Verse 1:

Billy left on Friday night with twenty dollars cash

I don't know just where Billy got that dough

Saturday he spent in style

Drinks were on the house

Lincoln here, and a Jackson there
E MajorE
Suspicions were aroused
E MajorE
A augmentedA dime was dropped and a name was named
E MajorE
A augmentedA body soon was found

Case is closed, that's how the story will be told
