John Hartford - Tear Down The Grand Ole Opry

They're gonna tear down the grand old opry
They're gonna tear down the sound that goes around our song
They're gonna tear down the grand ole opry
Another good thing, is done gone on, done gone on

Well there were campers
And there were busses
Parked all around, where there used to be a door
But that place
Called the grand ole opry
It just ain't there
Just ain't there no more

Chorus

Right across from the wax museum they used to line up around the block
From east Tennessee and back down home again
All of a sudden there's nothing to do where there once was an awful lot
Broad Street will never be the same


I've been in love with the grand ole opry

And I guess I have now for a good many years
