"Them hill-billies are mountain Williams now" - Hoosier Hotshots
Decca 46023, etc.

In hanging round the mountains all these years,
Singing songs about them train-wrecked engineers,
They've invaded all the cities, with their pretty corn-fed ditties,
and they've got the population all in tears.
They came to town from them thar hills,
but now they're flashing dollar bills.
Them hill-billies are mountain Williams now.
....
They left down home, for a microphone.
They made their dough, on the radddio.
They play guitars at cocktail bars, and ride around in motor cars.
Them hill-billies are mountain Williams now.
