I wrote this for Junior. Reese sung it at last year's reunion
to the tune of The Beverly Hillbillies
Come and listen to my story
'Bout a man named Bill
He had a little workshop
In the West Virginia hills
After he retired
He spent lots of time in there
But Virginia didn't mind
'Cause he wasn't in her hair
He was makin things
Sawin'
Hammerin'
Well the first thing you know
Old Bill was doin' good
His workshop was full
Of the stuff he'd made from wood
Jason told his dad
He would haul it all away
So he loaded up his truck
And he sold it in one day
Shelves, that is
Tables,
Clocks
Bill thought he was number one
At makin' stuff from wood
Reese and Danny, he was sure
Weren't nearly half as good
Then Cheryl came along
And she put him to the test
Now everybody knows
She is better than the rest
At woodworkin' that is
Carpentry,
Fixin' things
Ya'll listen up now, ye hear
