Here's to you, Bill

Bill Woods of Bakersfield
(To "Werewolves of London")
By Bryce Martin

Saw him at the the Blackboard with his Orange Blossom Playboys band
after Walkin' through the streets of Bako in the hot sun
He was bowin' on his fiddle and fingerin' a fast hand tellin' Buck
"Play it hot now, sonagun"

Chorus:
Aaahaaw, Bill Woods of Bakersfield
Aaahaaw
Aaahaaw, Bill Woods of Bakersfield
Aaahaaw

Crowd doin' some howlin' and roarin' round about midnight
Buck's Telecaster bigger than the downtown clock tower
Playing some Bob Wills and ah-hawin,' it was a fright
Music playin' in all its power


Chorus:
Aaahaaw, Bill Woods of Bakersfield
Aaahaaw
Aaahaaw, Bill Woods of Bakersfield
Aaahaaw

Well, I heard Bill singin' 'bout a truck drivin' man at the wheel
About headin' on down to San Antone
I heard Billy Mize backing him on a cryin' steel
The music all combined to give out a moan
I saw a long line of dancers arranging to form a square
And all their hands a-holdin'

Aaahaaw, Bill Woods of Bakersfield
Huh-big stuff
Aaahaaw
Bill Woods of Bakersfield
