  • I never knew her name
    I only knew her fame
    She lived near my town
    Another goldfish to drown

    Well I just passed the bridge
    That parts us from them
    The bridge that she used
    Again and again, again

    I remember when they found her
    Billy Davy's daughter
    The word gets around
    Word gets around

    Billy davy's second daughter
    Threw herself to dirty water
    Billy's left with nothing but a dream

    Billy Davy's second daughter
    Threw herself to dirty water
    Billy's left with nothing but a dream

    He dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams
    He dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams
