G C
She grew up plain and simple in a farming town.
D G
Her daddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling when they had hoedowns.
Em C
She says the neighbors would come and they'd move all my grandma's furniture 'round.
D D
And there'd be twenty or more there on the old wooden floor dancin' to a country sound.
G C
The Carters and Jimmy Rodgers played her favourite songs.
D G
And on Saturday nights there was a radio show and she would sing along.
Em C
And I'll never forget her face when she revealed to me,
G D G
That she'd dreamed about singing at The Grand Old Opry.
G C
Her eyes, oh, how they sparkled when she sang those songs.
D G
While she was hanging the clothes on the line, I was a kid just a hummin' along.
Em C
Well, I'd be playing in the grass, to her, what might be, obliviously,
C D
But there ain't no doubt about it: she sure made her mark on me.
G C
AnD she played old gospel records on the phonograph.
D G
She turned them up loud and we'd sing along, but those days have passed.
Em C
Just now that I am older it occurs to me,
G D G
That I was singing in the grandest opry.
D G C
And we sang Sweet Rose of Sharon, Abide With Me,
D G
'Til I ride The Gospel Ship to Heaven's Jubilee.
Em C
And In That Great Triumphant Morning my soul will be free,
Am D
And My Burdens Will Be Lifted when my Saviour's face I see.
G C
So I Don't Want to Get Adjusted to This World below,
D G
But I know He'll Pilot Me 'til it comes time to go.
Em C
Oh, nothing on this earth is half as dear to me,
G D G
As the sound of my Mama's Opry
