Mamas Opry
Ton : GCapo 3English
Couplet
GShe grew up plain and simple in a Cfarming town.
Her Ddaddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling when they Ghad hoedowns.
She says the Emneighbors would come and they'd move all my grandma's Cfurniture 'round.
And there'd be Dtwenty or more there on the old wooden floor dancin' to a Gcountry sound.
Couplet
GThe Carters and Jimmy Rodgers played her Cfavourite songs.
And on DSaturday nights there was a radio show and she would Gsing along.
And I'll Emnever forget her face when she Crevealed to me
That she'd dreamed about Dsinging at The Grand Ol' GOpry.
Couplet
GHer eyes oh how they sparkled when she Csang those songs.
While she was Dhanging the clothes on the line I was a kid just a Ghummin' along.
Well I'd be Emplaying in the grass to her what might've seemed Cobliviously
But there Dain't no doubt about it: she sure made her Gmark on me.
Couplet
An' she Gplayed old gospel records on the Cphonograph.
She Dturned them up loud and we'd sing along but those Gdays have passed.
Just Emnow that I am older it Coccurs to me
That I was Dsinging in the grandest Gopry.
Refrain
And we sang GSweet Rose of Sharon CAbide With Me
'Til I Dride The Gospel Ship to Heaven's GJubilee.
And In That EmGreat Triumphant Morning my soul Cwill be free
And My Burdens DWill Be Lifted when my Saviour's face I see. G
So I Don't GWant to Get Adjusted to CThis World below
But I Dknow He'll Pilot Me 'til it comes Gtime to go.
Oh nothing on Emthis earth is half as dear to me C
As the sound of my Mama's DOpry G
