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 singin' out them old 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 singin' "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 old Kentucky blues
Ernest Tubb's number "Two 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 Houn' 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 old Kentucky blues
Ernest Tubb's number "Two Wrongs Won't Make a Right"
At the Grand Ole Opry ev'ry Saturday night
