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 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" 
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 ole Kentucky 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' out them ole Kentucky Blues 
Ernest Tubb's number "Two Wrongs Don't Make a right" 
At the Grand Ole Opry ev'ry Saturday night
