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
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
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
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
I've been in love with the grand ole opry
And I guess I have now for a good many years
When I hear the grand ole opry
It makes me sad that it's gonna disappear, gonna
disappear
