Country Hall of Fame |
I was roaming round in Nashville in the state of Tennessee |
For I love that country music it’s as soulful as can be I have gathered their the records for I cherished every name |
So I found myself a standing in the Country Hall of Fame |
My heart beat somewhat faster as I walked in through the door |
For I heard the sound of voices I had often heard before |
A happy kind of sadness brought a teardrop to my eye |
Now I’ll tell you what I saw there and I’m sure that you’ll see why |
Jimmie Rodgers' railroad lantern and his faithful old guitar |
I could hear that old blue yodel coming from somewhere afar |
Roy Acuff in bronze likeness with that great Fred Rose his friend |
And I heard that Wabash Cannonball somewhere around the bend |
The guitar of Eddy Arnold memories of Cattle Call |
Chet Atkins will be with him when the work’s all done this fall |
From the autoharp of Maybelle Wildwood Flower seems to ring |
Rally Packett and Gid Penner how they all could pick and sing |
I could hear George Hay announcin' as I stood there in the room |
I could hear Tex Ritter singing his classic song High Noon |
Minnie Pearl so glad to be there and Hank Snow keeps Movin' On May the Lord bless those still living and the ones who’s joined his throne |
Cowboy Copas Hawkshaw Hawkins Gentleman Jim and Patsy Cline |
Rod Bradsfield Ira Louvin these stars will always shine |
Ernest Tubb and great Red Foley and Hank Williams bless his name |
Though some are gone they’ll live forever in the Country Hall of Fame |
