Biography:
Although warm and engaging, with a ready smile, Big Bill Lister has always been an imposing presence: 6 foot 7 1/2 inches, with a deep, drawling voice and a disarming directness. He's also a performer whose significance looms larger now, in many ways, than it did at the height of his career. Although he has been mostly retired from professional music for well over forty years, he's an amazingly vital link to country music's golden age - and not just because of his close association with country legend Hand Williams.

Gimme An RC Cola and a Moon Pie - Big Bill Lister
[Verse 1]
F
Give me an RC Cola and a Moon Pie
C F
And play "Maple on the Hill"
F
I'll catch that freight train on the blind
G C
Leave my corn down at the mill
F
Cause I sold my calf
F
For a dollar and a half
Bb F
So brother I can pay the bill
F
Give me an RC Cola and a Moon Pie
C F
And play "Maple on the Hill"
[Verse 2]
F
Ridin' saplings all day long
F
Clearing Pap's new ground
F
But I'll be leaving before long
G C
Goin' into town.
F
I may be just a country boy,
Bb F
But brother I get my thrill
F
With an RC Cola and a Moon Pie
C F
And playin' "Maple on the Hill"
[Verse 3]
F
Got a brand new pair of overalls
F
Grosgrains greased and shined
F
I'll tell you boys, I did it all
G C
For that gal of mine.
F
We'll dance all night til' broad daylight
Bb F
Will find us goin' still,
F
With an an RC Cola and a Moon Pie
C F
And playin' "Maple on the Hill."
[Verse 4]
F
Give me an RC Cola and a Moon Pie
C F
And play "Maple on the Hill"
