Der Alte Bill
Udo Jürgens
Old Bill
Old Bill isn't coming home
He rests in foreign soil
He will never see the stars again
Those who stand above Texas
Old Bill never returns
He will never make music for us again
His old banjo remains forever silent
Good bye good old Bill
(Good bye old Bill good bye)
(Good bye old Bill good bye)
There were once three cowboys
The Bill, the Jack, the Joe
Three good comrades
That made her so happy
They searched in the distance
For money and for happiness
But once Jack and Joe came
Back without Bill
(Old Bill isn't coming home)
(He rests in foreign soil)
He will never see the stars again
Those who stand above Texas
Old Bill never returns
He never makes music for us again
His old banjo remains forever silent
Good bye good old Bill
(Good bye old Bill good bye)
Good bye old Bill good bye
(Good bye old Bill good bye)
