Big Bill of Taos

There once was a man of towering size
With a five pound beard strokin’ to philosophize

The broadest of shoulders stretching past state lines
Tossing kegs like he’s swatting flies

He could pinch your head off if he felt so inclined
But peace was his creed and calm was his mind

Wearing shorts year round no matter the cold
The breasts on his calf were bountiful and bold

Big Bill of Taos
The biggest brother to us all
Big Bill of Taos
With a sunset for a soul

Guiding rafts down the Rio Grande
Grilling the meanest reuben in the land

With the strength of ten men he carried the world on his shoulder
And with his other arm he moved the Bear Rock boulder

The true love of his life always came first
The hairiest kitty in the universe

Big Bill of Taos
The biggest brother to us all
Big Bill of Taos
With a sunset for a soul
