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 RECORDS
FOR I CHERISH
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 THE 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
RILEY PUCKETT
AND GID TANNER
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 BRASFIELD
IRA LOUVIN
THESE STARS
WILL ALWAYS SHINE
ERNEST TUBB
THE GREAT RED FOLEY
AND HANK WILLIAMS
BLESS HIS NAME
THOUGH SOME ARE GONE
THEY'LL LIVE FOREVER
IN THE COUNTRY
HALL OF FAME
