[00:05.64]Well, the whole town listened to the radio
[00:07.88]For the Smiling Bill McCall Show
[00:09.82]Everyone in Nashville
[00:12.37]Was listenin' to Bill
[00:14.80]I don't want to be layin' in bed
[00:16.75]When they pronounce me dead
[00:18.29]
[00:19.73]He'd stand and breathe in the microphone
[00:22.32]With his guitar hangin' to his knee bone
[00:25.11]All the girls just sat and dreamed
[00:27.30]When Bill began his sing
[00:29.19]I don't want my hat to be hung
[00:31.38]When my last song is sung
[00:32.77]
[00:33.77]But he never let fame go to his head
[00:36.85]"This is Smiling Bill McCall", he said
[00:39.24]"Gonna pick and sing a song or two
[00:41.39]You all listen till I'm through"
[00:43.63]And if you're at the house or in your car
[00:45.73]Tune in this time tomorrow
[00:47.47]
[00:48.16]To all the boys he was a big hero
[00:51.45]They'd glue their ears to the radio
[00:53.93]Then talkin' a most unusual drawl
[00:55.83]Imitatin' Bill McCall
[00:58.52]Daddy, can I get me a guitar
[01:00.31]'Cause I want to be a star
[01:01.65]
[01:03.79]The girls would say of Bill McCall
[01:06.28]Why I bet he's over six feet tall
[01:08.57]Handsomest man in Nashville
[01:10.81]They said of Smiling Bill
[01:12.75]He won't be plantin' potato slips
[01:15.14]When he cashes in his chips
[01:16.24]
[01:18.23]Then one day Bill didn't make the show
[01:20.22]Didn't even show up for a week or so
[01:22.85]The station's boss said to city hall
[01:24.84]"Find Smiling Bill McCall"
[01:27.18]It won't be hard to track him down
[01:29.32]He's got the biggest feet in town
[01:31.12]
[01:32.56]Well, there's a creek that runs through Nashville
[01:35.20]And on the bank they found Smiling Bill
[01:37.39]He's committin' suicide
[01:39.19]But they grabbed him before he tried
[01:41.92]"Turn me loose, I want to jump", he screamed
[01:43.92]"'Cause I can't stand that theme"
[01:46.30]Let this be my final breath
[01:48.05]'Cause I'm scared to half to death"
[01:50.63]The big brave Smiling Bill McCall
[01:52.67]Is only four feet tall
[01:54.81]I'd rather be in the river dead
[01:57.55]Than to hear 'em laughin' at my bald head
