Billy 4 – piosenka skomponowana przez Boba Dylana, nagrana przez niego w styczniu 1973 i wydana na albumie Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid w lipcu 1973.
Historia i charakter utworu
Kompozycja ta została nagrana na pierwszej sesji nagraniowej do albumu jeszcze w mieście Meksyku 20 stycznia 1973. Powstało jeszcze wtedy 6 wersji utworu "Billy", 3 wersje "Under Turkey", 2 wersje "Billy Surrenders", 4 wersje "And He's Killed Me Too", "Goodbye Holly" i 2 wersje "Pecos Blues"[1].
Z tej sesji na albumie znalazł się tylko utwór "Billy 4". Była to jedna długa, całonocna sesja nagraniowa podczas kręcenia filmu. Utwory z tej sesji są najbardziej poszukiwanymi przez fanów Dylana. Chociaż na album trafiła tylko jedna kompozycja, to na filmie – oprócz niej – pojawiła się jeszcze "Billy Surrenders"[2]
"Billy 4" – kolejna wersja tematu "Billy" – ma także lekko meksykańskie brzmienie i przywołuje meksykański krajobraz: zakurzone wzgórza i drogi, kukurydziane tortillas, fasolę i smak kiepskiego piwa[3].
Utwór ten nigdy nie był wykonywany na koncercie.
