It's a Saturdaynight, the saloon is so quiet
All the cards were played easy
And that old Billy Joe, in his sixties or so
Danced with Lady Jane

Then the sheriff came in, took a bottle of gin
Suddenly he said: "My oh my!
Is it you Billy Joe, are you crazy or so?
This is my wife!"

Then Joe said: "Hey Lady Jane!
Part of my game
Leave your sheriff just behind
'Cause you are my butterfly
It's you Lady Jane
I'm offering you my name"

Then the sheriff said: "Son, will you pick up your gun
It's the end of the show"
Billy Joe he was fast and the winner at last
It was plain to see

Then Joe said: "Hey Lady Jane!
Part of my game
Leave your sheriff just behind
'Cause you are my butterfly
It's you Lady Jane
I'm offering you my name"

Then Joe said: "Hey Lady Jane!
Part of my game
Leave your sheriff just behind
'Cause you are my butterfly
It's you Lady Jane
I'm offering you my name"
