Lyrics:

Come and listen to my story if you will Im gonna tell

About a gang of fellers from down at nashville

First Ill start with old red foley doin the 'chattanooga shoe'

We cant forget hank williams with them good old 'lovesick blues'



Its 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'



Therell be guitars and fiddles, earl scruggs and his banjo too

Bill monroe singing em the 'honky tonky blues'

Ernest tubbs number 'two wrongs wont make a right'

At the grand ole opry evry 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'

Well sing 'the sunny side of the mountain' and dance to the 'chicken reel'



Therell be guitars and fiddles and banjo pickin too

Bill monroe singin em the 'honky tonky blues'

Ernest tubbs number too wrongs wont make a right

At the grand ole opry evry 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



Therell be guitars and fiddles, earl scruggs and his banjo too

Bill monroe singin em the 'honky tonky blues'

Ernest tubbs number 'two wrongs dont make a right'

At the grand ole opry evry saturday night
