Grand Ole Opry Song by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Grand Ole Opry Song Lyrics

edit | print 
Come and listen to my story if you will I'm gonna tell
About a gang of fellers from down at Nashville.
First we'll start with old Red Foley doin' that Chattanooga Choo,
We can't forget Hank Williams with them good ol' "Lovesick Blues".

Its time for Roy Acuff goin' to Memphis on his train,
Minnie Pearl and Rod Brasfield and Lazy Jim Day.
Turn on your radio, I know that you will wait,
To hear little Jimmy Dickens sing "Take an Old Cold 'Tater and Wait".

There'll be guitars and fiddles, and banjo pickin' too,
Bill Monroe singin' out them old Kentucky blues.
Ernest Tubb's number, "Two Wrongs Don't Make a Right",
At the Grand Ole Opry ev'ry Saturday night.

There is 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 is Mr. George D. Hay.

There'll be Lonzo and Oscar, poppin bubble gum,
George Morgan singin' "Candy Kisses" yum, yum,
"Got a Hole in My Bucket", bringin in that Georgia mail,
We'll play the "Bluegrass Breakdown" and dance to the "Chicken Reel".

Therell be guitars and fiddles and banjo pickin' too,
Bill Monroe singin' out them old Kentucky blues.
Ernest Tubb's number, "Two Wrongs Don't Make a Right",
At the Grand Ole Opry ev'ry Saturday night.

You can talk about your singers in all kinds of ways,
But none could sing the old songs like Bradley Kincaid,
With his old hound dog guitar and the famous "Blue Tail Fly",
Stringbean and Hank Snow and old fiddlin' Chubby Wise.

Therell be guitars and fiddles, And banjo pickin' too,
Bill monroe singin' out them old Kentucky blues,
Ernest Tubbs number, "Two Wrongs Don't Make a Right",
At the Grand Ole Opry ev'ry Saturday night.
