She was black as the night;
Bill O’ was whiter than white
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar
Bill O’ fell in love overnight
Nothing bad, it was good
Bill O’ had the best girl he could
When he took her home
To meet his mama and papa;
Bill O’ knew just where he stood
Bill O’ Bill O’ Bill O’Reilly, Bill O’ Bill O’ Bill O’ Reilli
Bill O’ Bill O’ Bill O’Reilly, Bill O’ Bill O’ you’re gonna cry
There he stood in the night
Knowing what’s wrong from what’s right
He took her home to meet his mama and papa
Man, they had a terrible fight
Bill O’ nearly caused a scene
Wishin’ it was a dream
Ain’t no diff’rence if you’re black or white
Brothers, you know what I mean, come on
Bill O’ Bill O’ Bill O’
Bill O’ Bill O’ Bill O’Reilly, Bill O’ Bill O’ Bill O’ Reilli
Bill O’ Bill O’ Bill O’Reilly, Bill O’ Bill O’ you’re gonna cry
Not bad Rastus! A summer of ‘73 blast from the past!
