[Intro]
Walking through the world with Pigsty Billy
You can feel the sun go down

[Verse 1]
Sow the yard with broken bottles
Find a message now and then
Lose the key in a patch of nettles
Never find that door again

[Verse 2]
Don't you whistle when the wind is rising
Don't tell a chicken who's got the knife
Don't you ask for drink on credit
Don't look twice at any man's wife

[Chorus]
Walking through the world with Pigsty Billy
You can feel the sun go down
Holes in your soles and nothing in your pocket
Grinning at the edge of town
Walking through the world with Pigsty Billy
You can feel the sun go down
Holes in your soles and nothing in your pocket
Grinning at the edge of town
[Verse 3]
The stars are hard, it's a long December
Bait your line on a frozen pool
All the things you can't remember
Spring will thaw them out, the fool

[Verse 4]
Buried round behind the chapel
All tied up with a piece of string
A photograph of Greta Garbo
Rabbit's foot and a curtain ring

[Chorus]
Walking through the world with Pigsty Billy
You can feel the sun go down
Holes in your soles and nothing in your pocket
Grinning at the edge of town
Walking through the world with Pigsty Billy
You can feel the sun go down
Holes in your soles and nothing in your pocket
Grinning at the edge of town

[Post-Chorus]
Walking through the world
Walking through the world
Walking through the world
Walking through the world
[Chorus]
Walking through the world with Pigsty Billy
You can feel the sun go down (Oh, the sun go down)
Holes in your soles and nothing in your pockets
Grinning at the edge of town
Walking through the world with Pigsty Billy (Walking through the world)
You can feel the sun go down (Oh, the sun go down)
Holes in your soles and nothing in your, nothing in your pockets
