	作词 : Dement
	She grew up plain and simple in a farming town
	Her daddy played the fiddle and used to do the calling when they had hoe-downs
	She says the neighbors would come and they'd move all my grandma's furniture 'round
	And there'd be twenty or more there on the old wooden floor dancin' to a country sound
	The Carters and Jimmy Rodgers played her favorite songs
	And on Saturday nights there was a radio show and she would sing along
	And I'll never forget her face when she revealed to me
	That she'd dreamed about singing at The Grand Ol' Opry
	Her eyes, oh, how they sparkled when she sang those songs
	While she was hanging the clothes on the line, I was a kid just a-hummin' along
	Well, I'd be playing in the grass, to her, what might've seemed, obliviously
	But there ain't no doubt about it, she sure made her mark on me
	And she played old gospel records on the phonograph
	She turned them up loud and we'd sing along, but those days have passed
	Just now, that I am older, it occurs to me
	That I was singing in the grandest opry
	And we sang sweet rose of Sharon, abide with me
	'Til I ride the gospel ship to heaven's jubilee
	And in that great triumphant morning my soul will be free
	And my burdens will be lifted when my savior's face I see
	So I don't want to get adjusted to this world below
	But I know he'll pilot me 'til it comes time to go
	Oh, nothing on this earth is half as dear to me
	As the sound of my mama's opry
	And we sang sweet rose of Sharon, abide with me
	'Til I ride the gospel ship to heaven's jubilee
	And in that great triumphant morning my soul will be free
	And my burdens will be lifted when my savior's face I see
	So I don't want to get adjusted to this world below
	But I know he'll pilot me 'til it comes time to go
	Oh, nothing on this earth is half as dear to me
	As the sound of my mama's opry
