Banjo Bill
Born in West Virginia raised in Tennessee
Heard his call early and knew what he would be
A coal miner's son out to set the world on fire
Now a banjo playing preacher who's widely admired
Meet Pastor William Hill friends called him Banjo Bill
He preached fiery sermons his music hotter still
He loved his family his Lord and Savior too
And that Earl Scruggs Mastertone he played
Just for you
He loved his Bible preaching the gospel too
And playing his five string banjo just for you
This combination was the perfect thing to do
First came the message then his Gibson Banjo too
Meet Pastor William Hill friends called him Banjo Bill
He preached fiery sermons his music hotter still
He loved his family his Lord and Savior too
And that Earl Scruggs Mastertone he played
Just for you
After his sermon gospel songs were first
Strapping on his banjo he'd play you a verse
"I'll Fly Away" and "I Saw The Light"
And "That Old Time Religion" played real tight
Meet Pastor William Hill friends called him Banjo Bill
He preached fiery sermons his music hotter still
He loved his family his Lord and Savior too
And that Earl Scruggs Mastertone he played
Just for you
Banjo Bill was a preachin'playin' jewel
A handsome family man stubborn but cool
People came from miles around to hear him preach and pray
Came to hear his message and stayed to hear him play
Meet Pastor William Hill friends called him Banjo Bill
He preached fiery sermons his music hotter still
He loved his family his Lord and Savior too
And that Earl Scruggs Mastertone he played just for you
He loved his family his Lord and Savior too
And that Earl Scruggs Mastertone he played just for you
And that Earl Scruggs Mastertone he played just for you
Heard his call early and knew what he would be
A coal miner's son out to set the world on fire
Now a banjo playing preacher who's widely admired
Meet Pastor William Hill friends called him Banjo Bill
He preached fiery sermons his music hotter still
He loved his family his Lord and Savior too
And that Earl Scruggs Mastertone he played

And playing his five string banjo just for you
