Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - 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 Kimmy Dickens sing "take an old cold tater and wait"

There'll be guitars and fiddles, Earl Scruggs and his banjo too
Bill Monroe singing 'em the "honky tonky 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 singing "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' 'em the "honky tonky blues"
Ernest Tubb's number too 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 hound 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' 'em the "honky tonky blues"
Ernest Tubb's number "two wrongs don't make a right"
At the Grand Ole Opry ev'ry saturday night

    I download this and other albums but it is put in alphabetical order. How do I download in proper order?

    N.... K....

    Hmm, good question. I wish I could help - this album definitely has to be in order, with all the conversation and intros. I think I know it by heart

    N.... K....

    Try adding in track numbers to the file name. That way, your file manager will sort the file names by number since there is a letter before the title.

    My mom had this album when I was 7. I listen to it over and over.

    Come and listen to my story if you will I'm gonna tell

    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 singing out them ole 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 singing "Tragic Romance"
