《Mama’s Opry(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:06] She grew up plain and simple in a farming town

[00:00:13] Her daddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling when they had hoedowns

[00:00:18] She says the neighbors would come and they'd move all my grandma's furniture 'round

[00:00:24] And there'd be twenty or more there on the old wooden floor dancin' to a country sound

[00:00:30] The Carters and Jimmy Rodgers played her favourite songs

[00:00:35] And on Saturday nights there was a radio show and she would sing along

[00:00:41] And I'll never forget her face when she revealed to me

[00:00:46] That she'd dreamed about singing at The Grand Ol' Opry

[00:00:52] Her eyes oh how they sparkled when she sang those songs

[00:00:58] While she was hanging the clothes on the line I was a kid just a hummin' along

[00:01:04] Well I'd be playing in the grass to her what might've seemed obliviously

[00:01:10] But there ain't no doubt about it: she sure made her mark on me

[00:01:15] An' she played old gospel records on the phonograph

[00:01:21] She turned them up loud and we'd sing along but those days have passed

[00:01:27] Just now that I am older it occurs to me

[00:01:32] That I was singing in the grandest opry

[00:01:38] And we sang Sweet Rose of Sharon Abide With Me

[00:01:44] 'Til I ride The Gospel Ship to Heaven's Jubilee

[00:01:50] And In That Great Triumphant Morning my soul will be free

[00:01:56] And My Burdens Will Be Lifted when my Saviour's face I see

[00:02:01] So I Don't Want to Get Adjusted to This World below

[00:02:07] But I know He'll Pilot Me 'til it comes time to go

[00:02:13] Oh nothing on this earth is half as dear to me

[00:02:19] As the sound of my Mama's Opry

[00:02:24] And we sang Sweet Rose of Sharon Abide With Me

[00:02:31] 'Til I ride The Gospel Ship to Heaven's Jubilee

[00:02:36] And In That Great Triumphant Morning my soul will be free

[00:02:42] And My Burdens Will Be Lifted when my Saviour's face I see

[00:02:47] So I Don't Want to Get Adjusted to This World below

[00:02:54] But I know He'll Pilot Me 'til it comes time to go

[00:02:59] Oh nothing on this earth is half as dear to me

[00:03:05] As the sound of my Mama's Opry
