Wrestler Bill
When you're 18 and young and you are looking for something to do...
Then wrestling with a bear might appeal to you.
The challenge was given and accepted by three...
But wrestling with a bear doesn't appeal to me.
Each year the Heart of Texas Fair and Rodeo provides many a thrill...
But there is a special memory for one named Bill.
Some ride bulls and others a bucking horse...
But still others pursue a different course.
When the challenge was given he said o.k....
And then Bill found out that wrestling a bear is not child's play.
Very few people have ever wrestled a bear...
But in 1970 at the Heart of Texas Fair and Rodeo you would
have seen Bill if you were there.
Bill now sings in the choir and is a great Christian too...
And he loves to share memories about the crazy things he used to do.
Wrestler Bill has put bear wrestling on hold...
But he fondly remember be a teenager and trying to act bold.
