Текст песни The 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
knee
bone
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
They'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
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
laughin'
at
my
bald
head
