Papa Bill
Oh, Billy boy where did your spark come from?
On your four-wheeled horse you would run
From first light to the setting sun
Leaving no task left undone
Officer, you are a legend of your own
Around this whole state, your name is known
Father dear to those back at home
Stoney to all the friends who roam
Oh, Papa Bill you met us with a grin
Didn't leave us until we were smiling
Your spirit had a healing hand
You left everyone knowing you're a friend
You always knew where you belonged
With your gal by your side your family strong
Your tree ran its roots so deep
Oh, your memories we'll forever keep
Oh, Billy boy as a child you grew ill
As you aged you learned how to deal
Never did feel sorry for your self
Made the best of it your spirit was your wealth
Officer, the stories never end
In this small town, you helped defend
Never got the concept of retirement
You always could lend a helping hand
Oh, papa Bill your house is on Fillmore
You made it gorgeous more and more
Now you live forever in our hearts
Sprucing up all the best parts
You always knew where you belonged
With your gal by your side your family strong
Your tree ran its roots so deep
Oh, your memories we'll forever keep
Oh, your memories we'll forever keep
Oh, your memories we'll forever keep
On your four-wheeled horse you would run
From first light to the setting sun
Leaving no task left undone
Officer, you are a legend of your own
Around this whole state, your name is known
Father dear to those back at home
Stoney to all the friends who roam
Oh, Papa Bill you met us with a grin
Didn't leave us until we were smiling
Your spirit had a healing hand
You left everyone knowing you're a friend
You always knew where you belonged
With your gal by your side your family strong
Your tree ran its roots so deep
Oh, your memories we'll forever keep
Oh, Billy boy as a child you grew ill
As you aged you learned how to deal
Never did feel sorry for your self
Made the best of it your spirit was your wealth
Officer, the stories never end
In this small town, you helped defend
Never got the concept of retirement
You always could lend a helping hand
Oh, papa Bill your house is on Fillmore
You made it gorgeous more and more
Now you live forever in our hearts
Sprucing up all the best parts
You always knew where you belonged
With your gal by your side your family strong
Your tree ran its roots so deep
Oh, your memories we'll forever keep
Oh, your memories we'll forever keep
Oh, your memories we'll forever keep
