Smiling Bill Mccall
Ton : DEnglish
WDell the whole town listened to the radio For the Smiling Bill McCall ShEow
Everyone in Nashville Was listenin' to BilDl
I don't want to be layin' in bed When they pronounce me dead
He'd stand and breathe in the microphone With hisA guitar hangin' to his knee bone
AlDl the girls just sat and dreamed When Bill began his sing
I don't want my hat to be hung When my last song is sung
But he nevAer let famDe go to his heGad "This is Smiling Bill McCAall" he said
"Gonna pick and siEng a song or two You alDl listen till I'm through"
And if you're at the house or in your car Tune in this time tomorrow
To all the boys he was a big hero They'd glue their eaArs to the radio
Then talkin' a most unusual draDwl Imitatin' Bill McCall
Daddy can I get me a guitar 'Cause I want to be a star
The girDls would say of Bill McCaAll Why I bet he's over six feet tall
Handsomest man in Nashville They said of SmilDing Bill
He won't be plantin' potato slips When he cashes in his chips
Then one day Bill didn't make the show DidGn't even show uAp for a week or sCo
The station's boDss said to city haEll "Find Smiling BiDll McCall"
It won't be hard to track him down He's got the biggest feet in town
Well there's a creek that runs through NashvAille And on the bank they found Smiling Bill
He's commitCtin' suicide But they grabFbed him before he trGied
"TDurn me loose I want to jump" he screamed "'Cause I can't stand that theme"
Let this be my final breath 'Cause I'm scared to half to death"
The big brave Smiling Bill McCall Is only four feet tall
I'd rather be in the river dead Than to hear 'em lauCghin' at my bald heaDd
