[00:00.000]Mama's Opry - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band/Iris Dement
[00:07.340]She grew up plain and simple in a farming town
[00:14.400]Her daddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling
[00:17.610]When they had hoedowns
[00:20.280]She says the neighbors would come and
[00:22.490]They'd move all my grandma's furniture 'round
[00:26.970]And there'd be twenty or more there on the old wooden floor
[00:30.670]Dancin' to a country sound
[00:34.569]The Carters and Jimmy Rodgers played her favourite songs
[00:40.408]And on Saturday nights there was a radio show
[00:43.768]And she would sing along
[00:46.998]And I'll never forget her face when she revealed to me
[00:53.478]That she'd dreamed about singing at The Grand Ol' Opry
[01:00.428]Her eyes oh how they sparkled when she sang those songs
[01:06.898]While she was hanging the clothes on the line
[01:09.138]I was a kid just a hummin' along
[01:12.838]Well I'd be playing in the grass to her
[01:15.878]What might've seemed obliviously
[01:19.928]But there ain't no doubt about it
[01:23.408]She sure made her mark on me
[01:26.138]An' she played old gospel records on the phonograph
[01:33.438]She turned them up loud and we'd sing along
[01:36.518]But those days have passed
[01:39.858]Just now that I am older it occurs to me
[01:46.118]That I was singing in the grandest opry
[01:52.587]And we sang Sweet Rose of Sharon Abide With Me
[01:59.917]'Til I ride The Gospel Ship to Heaven's Jubilee
[02:06.407]And In That Great Triumphant Morning my soul will be free
[02:13.266]And My Burdens Will Be Lifted
[02:16.506]When my Saviour's face I see
[02:19.606]So I Don't Want to Get Adjusted to This World below
[02:26.696]But I know He'll Pilot Me 'til it comes time to go
[02:33.366]Oh nothing on this earth is half as dear to me
[02:40.106]As the sound of my Mama's Opry
[03:13.336]And we sang Sweet Rose of Sharon Abide With Me
[03:20.356]'Til I ride The Gospel Ship to Heaven's Jubilee
[03:26.966]And In That Great Triumphant Morning my soul will be free
[03:33.815]And My Burdens Will Be Lifted when my Saviour's face I see
[03:40.055]So I Don't Want to Get Adjusted to This World below
[03:47.205]But I know He'll Pilot Me 'til it comes time to go
[03:53.755]Oh nothing on this earth is half as dear to me
[04:00.435]As the sound of my Mama's Opry
