Lyrics:
Roy Acuff in his air cooled car
A Franklin, so its told
On Sand Hill Mount
Roy would have found a sound as pure as gold
Two voices and a mandolin
on earth in the mornin' dew
They still make Jack Daniels in Lynchburg
On the Opry, Mr Acuff's still keen
You can get the best biscuits and gravy
Shoe"
We can't forget Hank Williams with them good old "Lovesick Blues"
It's time for Roy Acuff to go to Memphis on his train
With Minnie Pearl

If the one you'd think is true ever turns his back on you
THE TRAIN THAT NEVER STOPS
(Dallas Frazier)

For years I've tried to leave this poor man's valley
On a train
what a man
I've heard all your songs about living and dying I admire you deep in every word
Oh but you haven't lived till you've heard Roy Acuff
and you’ll be a country star
Play piano like Ronnie Mil sap or Gilly or Jerry Lee
Yo-yo like Roy Acuff or talk plain like Ralph Emery
Growl like Conway
THERE WASN'T AN ORGAN AT OUR WEDDING
(Leon Payne)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music »
There wasn't an organ at our wedding
The month was August instead
Now the other night, Roy Acuff called me
He said, "John, I'd like for you to do the Opry
So I went out on the stage, but I couldn't sing"
I got into
Well, I cut my teeth on gospel songs and good old country fair
My favorites then were Acuff and Bill Monroe
What a beautiful thought I am thinkin'
could never cuff a-cuff a bitch who never honor me (yeah)
I would never trust her, only judge off what she done for me (whoa)
Ice got me glistenin' like
Jimmy Rogers, Patsy Cline
We lost Hank at 29
Roy Acuff, Johnny Horton and dancin' Bill Monroe
Woodie Guthrie, Bob Wills
Spade Cooley, Kitty Wells
ole Hank that much
Without Cash we all lose
Maybe that's why country music has the blues
Roy Acuff and miss Minnie Pearl
Is who this country needs
and 16th avenue.
The rhyming, oh she's a diamond the brown eyed mickey
She was Roy Acuff castle and Elvis parsley's broken dream
Its not all bad its not all
Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven
And just as I arrived the old curtain lifted
And there on stage stood who else but Roy Acuff and Tex
bar
Play some Haggard and Tubb or Jones
Or Acuff or your's truly H W J R
Or anyone else just as long as it's
Country music those tear jerking songs
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
the 'Chattanooga shoe'
We can't forget Hank Williams with them good old 'Lovesick blues'
It's time for Roy Acuff to go to Memphis on his train
With Minnie Pearl
some Haggard and Tubb or Jones or
Acuff or yours truly H W-J-R
Or anyone else just as long as it's
Country music those tear jerking songs about
Life
heard all your songs
About living and dying
I admire all your deep, clever words
But you haven't lived till
You've heard Roy Acuff
Sing about Jesus
Well, I was raised on country classics
Like Roy Acuff and George Jones
Lord, I loved to hear 'em
Sing all them old time country songs
But I
