From Maine to San Francisco For years I rode the rails Coast to coast And border to border I've been In about every jail One night around the Golden Gate I caught a freight And laying in the bottom of the boxcar Was a man Named BILLY JACK WASHBURN Through the rain and the wind the train was flying I knew the man was laying there dying I had to try to save a man With nothing but my two bare hands And I did He was just a kid (Just a kid) So me and Billy Jack We laid around a few Hobo comps For a while Till Billy Jack got his strength back And the sunshine Gave him back his smile We decided that we would leave And head on down to New Orleans And we did Me and the kid (Me and the kid) But things weren't like they were before I never had a friend jumpin' from the door Treated him like I was his dad And gave him everything I had Which was nothing Except the love for a friend and a friend he was But I lost him (Lost him) Billy Jack Washburn was his name I lost him down around Jacksonvillewhen he fell from the train I rolled off and I hit the ground I picked his body up and carried it all the way back to town He was a friend of mine (Friend of mine) So there I am in Macon, Georgia To help lay Billy Jack in the ground And by the way Macon, Georgia Is my home town When I picked his milk told up I saw a picture of her mama and her name And I cried like a baby (And I cried) Cos' his mama and my mama were the same Well I haven't been home in 26 years And when I do come home It has to be like this Sometimes old lady fate She deals A terrible kiss Billy Jack Washburn was his name I lost him down around Jacksonville When he fell from the train But I lost more than a friend I'll never see my brother again (Brother again)

This is a plea to anyone whose name happens to be Tamara and is aged 27. Please, please, please email us - click here to go to our party membership submission page.

This is another plea. If you have the Billy Jack Washburn CD, please email us.

This is a campaign against the Québeçois. They stole the original Billy Jack Washburn CD (hence the CD plea) and various other things from the party's President - even a motor home was stolen. With a slight modification to the Billy Ocean words, "When the going gets tough, the stuff gets stolen..."

If you would like to help us in our campaign against the Québeçois, then please email us.

Unfortunately, we cannot supply any purple pet paint - please visit your local pet store if you really would like to paint any of your pets purple. If you would like purple face paint, we recommend you purchase it from a large shop - the President of the Billy Jack Washburn Moderate to Extremist Left Wing Coalition Party would be pleased to explain exactly why.

Click here to see the Billy Hall of Fame - where it's OK to be a Billy - and here to see the Billy Hall of Shame - where pretenders to the name "Billy" are held up for ridicule.

If you believe that you are either a budding politician, and would like to stand at an election for The Billy Jack Washburn Moderate to Extremist Left Wing Coalition Party, or would simply like to become a party member, please click here to submit an application form to the Chancellor.

My favourite Billy Ocean sound.
