Bill Monroe For Breakfast |
| When I was just a little boy we lived down on a farm |
| Seven miles from nowhere and a hundred miles from harm |
| We made our livin' from the dirt if anything would grow |
| And we got our country music from a big old radio |
| And we had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day |
| Then we’d head out to the fields a hoein' corn and mowin' hay |
| Aw mama loved his singin' daddy loved to hear him play |
| And we had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day |
| (fiddle — mandolin) |
| We had a big old battery that ran the radio |
| Sometimes we run it down a listenin' to the Opry Show |
| But we all had our instruments and most of us could play |
| So we had Bill Monroe for breakfast anyway |
| We had Bill Monroe for breakfast… |
| Mama was a lady and my daddy liked to preach |
| All we ever had was just a place to eat and sleep |
| If I could go back home again back to the simple ways |
| Oh we’d have Bill Monroe for breakfast every day |
| We had Bill Monroe for breakfast… |
| We had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day |
