Smiling Bill Mccall - Johnny Cash

Well the whole town listened to the radio for the Smiling Bill McCall Show

Everyone in Nashville was listenin' to Bill

I don't want to be layin' in bed when they pronounce me dead

He'd stand and breathe in the microphone with his guitar hangin' to his kneebone

All 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 never let fame go to his head this is Smiling Bill McCall he said

Gonna pick and sing a song or two you all 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 that'd glue their ears to the radio

Then talkin' a most unusual drawl imitatin' Bill McCall

Daddy can I get me a guitar cause I want to be a star

The girls would say of Bill McCall why I bet he's over six feet tall

Handsomest man in Nashville they said of Smiling Bill

He won't be plantin' potato slips when he cashes in his chips

Then one day Bill didn't make the show didn't even show up for a week or so

The station's boss said to city hall find Smiling Bill 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 Nashville

And on the bank they found Smiling Bill

He's committin' suicide but they grabbed him before he tried

Turn 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 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 laughin' at my bald head
