Bakersfield[00:00:00]

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

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

And Bakersfield also destined[00:00:06]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At the right time[00:00:44]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bill Woods from Bakersfield we're all proud of you[00:02:59]
