She grew up plain and simple in a farming town [00:00:06]
Her daddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling when they had hoedowns [00:00:13]
She says the neighbors would come and they'd move all my grandma's furniture 'round [00:00:18]
And there'd be twenty or more there on the old wooden floor dancin' to a country sound [00:00:24]
The Carters and Jimmy Rodgers played her favourite songs [00:00:30]
And on Saturday nights there was a radio show and she would sing along [00:00:35]
And I'll never forget her face when she revealed to me [00:00:41]
That she'd dreamed about singing at The Grand Ol' Opry [00:00:46]
Her eyes oh how they sparkled when she sang those songs [00:00:52]
While she was hanging the clothes on the line I was a kid just a hummin' along [00:00:58]
Well I'd be playing in the grass to her what might've seemed obliviously [00:01:04]
But there ain't no doubt about it: she sure made her mark on me [00:01:10]
An' she played old gospel records on the phonograph [00:01:15]
She turned them up loud and we'd sing along but those days have passed [00:01:21]
Just now that I am older it occurs to me [00:01:27]
That I was singing in the grandest opry [00:01:32]
And we sang Sweet Rose of Sharon Abide With Me [00:01:38]
'Til I ride The Gospel Ship to Heaven's Jubilee [00:01:44]
And In That Great Triumphant Morning my soul will be free [00:01:50]
And My Burdens Will Be Lifted when my Saviour's face I see [00:01:56]
So I Don't Want to Get Adjusted to This World below [00:02:01]
But I know He'll Pilot Me 'til it comes time to go [00:02:07]
Oh nothing on this earth is half as dear to me [00:02:13]
As the sound of my Mama's Opry[00:02:19]
And we sang Sweet Rose of Sharon Abide With Me [00:02:24]
'Til I ride The Gospel Ship to Heaven's Jubilee [00:02:31]
And In That Great Triumphant Morning my soul will be free [00:02:36]
And My Burdens Will Be Lifted when my Saviour's face I see [00:02:42]
So I Don't Want to Get Adjusted to This World below [00:02:47]
But I know He'll Pilot Me 'til it comes time to go [00:02:54]
Oh nothing on this earth is half as dear to me [00:02:59]
As the sound of my Mama's Opry[00:03:05]
