Grand Ole Opry Song

Lyrics

Come and listen to my story, if you will, I'm gonna tell About a gang of fellers from down at Nashville First I'll start with old Red Foley doin' the Chattanooga shoe We can't forget Hank Williams with them good old "Lovesick Blues" It's time for Roy Acuff to go to Memphis on his train With Minnie Pearl and Rod Brasfield and Lazy Jim Day Turn on all your radios I know that you will wait Hear Little Jimmy Dickens sing "Take an Old Cold Tater and Wait" There'll be guitars and fiddles, Earl Scruggs and his banjo too Bill Monroe singin' out them old Kentucky blues Ernest Tubb's number "Two Wrongs Won't Make a Right" At the Grand Ole Opry ev'ry Saturday night There was Uncle Dave Macon, his gold tooth and plug-hat Cowboy Copas singin' "Tragic Romance" Signed sealed and delivered with Sam and Kirk McGee And the master of ceremony was Mr. George D. Hays There was Lonzo and Oscar a-poppin' bubble gum George Morgan singin' "Candy Kisses", yum yum Got a hole in my bucket, bringin' in that Georgia mill We'll sing "The Sunny Side of the Mountain" and dance to the "Chicken Reel" There'll be guitars and fiddles and banjo pickin' too Bill Monroe singin' out them old Kentucky blues Ernest Tubb's number "Two Wrongs Won't Make a Right" At the Grand Ole Opry ev'ry Saturday night You can talk about your singers in all kinds of way But none could sing the old songs like Bradley Kincaid With his old Houn' Dog guitar and the famous "Blue Tail Fly" Stringbean with Hank Snow and old fiddlin' Chubby Wise There'll be guitars and fiddles, Earl Scruggs and his banjo too Bill Monroe singin' out them old Kentucky blues Ernest Tubb's number "Two Wrongs Won't Make a Right" At the Grand Ole Opry ev'ry Saturday night
