| Song | Billy's Blues |
| Artist | Laura Nyro |
| Album | The First Songs |
| Billy's blue | |
| With his head hangin' to his shoes | |
| Right the wrong or play a song | |
| To ease Billy's blues | |
| Billy's down | |
| He was born, he was bound to lose | |
| So what if right the wrong or play a song | |
| To ease Billy's blues, to ease | |
| Billy's blues | |
| Some folks have it good | |
| And some folks have it no good | |
| But Billy's got it bad | |
| He's so endlessly sad | |
| Billy's blues | |
| With his head hangin' to his shoes | |
| Somebody please right the wrong or play a song | |
| To ease Billy's blues, to ease | |
| Billy's blues |
