I remember when they found her, Billy Davey's daughter
Again and again, again
The word gets around
She lived near my town
Well I just passed the bridge
Another goldfish to drown
The bridge that she used
Billy Davey's second daughter threw herself to dirty water

Billy's left with nothin' but a dream
He dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams
He dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams
Billy's left with nothin' but a dream
Billy Davey's second daughter threw herself to dirty water
That parts us from them
The word gets around, the word gets around
