GShe grew up plain and simple in a fCarming town.
Her dDaddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling when they hGad hoedowns.
She says the nEmeighbors would come and they'd move all my grandma's fCurniture 'round.
And there'd be tDwenty or more there on the old wDooden floor dancin' to a country sound.
GThe Carters and Jimmy Rodgers played her fCavourite songs.
And on SDaturday nights there was a radio show anGd she would sing along.
And IEm'll never forget her fCace when she revealed to me,
That she'd dGreamed about singing at The GrDand Old OprGy.
GHer eyes, oh, how they sparkled when she sCang those songs.
While she was Dhanging the clothes on the line, I was a kid jusGt a hummin' along.
Well, I'd be pEmlaying in the grass, to her, what Cmight be, obliviously,
But there ainC't no doubt about it: shDe sure made her mark on me.
AnD she playeGd old gospel recCords on the phonograph.
SDhe turned them up loud and we'd sing along, Gbut those days have passed.
JEmust now that I Cam older it occurs to me,
That I was siGnging in thDe gGrandest opry.
ADnd we sang SGweet Rose of ShCaron, Abide With Me,
'Til DI ride The Gospel Ship Gto Heaven's Jubilee.
And In TEmhat Great Triumphant CMorning my soul will be free,
And My BurdeAmns Will Be Lifted when mDy Saviour's face I see.
So I Don'Gt Want to Get Adjusted Cto This World below,
But DI know He'll Pilot Me 'tGil it comes time to go.
Oh, notEmhing on this earth Cis half as dear to me,
As the sGound of Dmy Mama's GOpry
ADnd we saGng Sweet Rose of CSharon, Abide With Me,
'Til DI ride The Gospel Ship Gto Heaven's Jubilee.
And In TEmhat Great TriumphanCt Morning my soul will be free,
And My BCurdens Will Be Lifted when mDy Saviour's face I see.
So I DonG't Want to Get AdjusteCd to This World below,
But I kDnow He'll Pilot Me 'tGil it comes time to go.
OhEm, nothing on this earth Cis half as dear to me,
As the soGund of my MDama's OprGy
