《Bill Woods From Bakersfield》歌词

[00:00:00] Bakersfield

[00:00:02] An oil town that really had

[00:00:04] It's boon during the heart of the depression

[00:00:06] And Bakersfield also destined

[00:00:09] To become somewhat of a center for country music

[00:00:12] And even as back as the early 50's

[00:00:14] It began to gain national recognition

[00:00:17] For the popularity of songs like

[00:00:18] Dear John Letter Ferlin Husky's Gone

[00:00:22] And a string novelity hits from Leonard Sipes

[00:00:26] Or better known as Tommy Collins

[00:00:29] Country music is a profession in Bakersfield

[00:00:32] And like all other professions

[00:00:33] Whether it be that of a Doctor

[00:00:35] Or a Scientist or a steady ditch digger

[00:00:40] Everyone seems to have a particular someone

[00:00:42] Who offered that helping hand

[00:00:44] At the right time

[00:00:46] And country music is no exception

[00:00:48] But in Bakersfield that same helping hand

[00:00:52] Kept reachin' out time after time

[00:00:54] To different people such as

[00:00:57] Jeanne Sheppard Ferlin Husky Tommy Collins

[00:01:00] Buck Owens Billy Mize Herb Henson

[00:01:05] Merle Haggard and also Red Simpson

[00:01:08] Who saw reason to compose

[00:01:10] This song called Bill Woods From Bakersfield

[00:01:14] Bill here's to you

[00:01:26] Let me tell you all a story

[00:01:28] Bout a guitar pickin' man

[00:01:31] To me he is the greatest picker in the land

[00:01:36] He's taught me how to play in G

[00:01:38] And he taught me how to sing in key

[00:01:41] Bill Woods from Bakersfield the Bakersfield guitar man

[00:01:45] Well Bill gave old Buck the first job he ever had

[00:01:51] Bill must've been a good teacher

[00:01:53] Cause old Buck didn't do too bad

[00:01:55] He sets up there chewin' his ole cigar

[00:01:58] Playin' Wildwood Flower on his guitar

[00:02:00] Bill Woods from Bakersfield the Bakersfield guitar man

[00:02:06] Well Bill never hit it big but he didn't miss it far

[00:02:10] And in my book he'll always be considered a star

[00:02:15] I followed him and he taught me guitar pickin' and harmony

[00:02:19] Bill Woods from Bakersfield the Bakersfield guitar man

[00:02:25] When the roll is called up yonder

[00:02:27] And we've all met our quest

[00:02:29] I bet he'll be chosen to pick there with the best

[00:02:34] Up there with his gold guitar well

[00:02:36] Things're right Bill will be a star

[00:02:39] Bill Woods from Bakersfield the Bakersfield guitar man

[00:02:44] Well everybody loves old Bill

[00:02:46] Cause he's quite a man

[00:02:49] And if anybody should need some help

[00:02:51] Well he'll sure lend you a hand

[00:02:53] There's one more thing I'd like to say

[00:02:55] Before my story's through
