|
Well they call me |
|
Jimmy Martin |
|
And they say that |
|
I can sing |
|
Of them lonesome broken hearted |
|
Boys of Bluegrass |
|
I'm the King |
|
I was born up in the mountains, |
|
I was raised in poverty |
|
Made a guitar out of nothing but a cigar box and strings |
|
Took a bus across to |
|
Nashville and that's where |
|
I was employed |
|
Pickin' guitar and singing tenor |
|
With Bill |
|
Monroe and his |
|
Bluegrass |
|
Boys Yea they call me |
|
Jimmy Martin |
|
And they say that |
|
I can sing |
|
Of them lonesome broken hearted |
|
Boys of Bluegrass |
|
I'm the King |
|
Back in 1959, with the |
|
Sunny Mountain |
|
Boys On that |
|
Louisiana |
|
Hayride, you never heard such wondrous noise |
|
We tore it up at the |
|
Grand Ole |
|
Opry "Walkin' Shoes" and "Free Born Man" |
|
But the circle is still broken |
|
My greatest dream slipped through my hands |
|
Well they call me |
|
Jimmy Martin |
|
And they say that |
|
I can sing |
|
Of them lonesome broken hearted |
|
Boys of Bluegrass |
|
I'm the King |
|
Of them lonesome broken hearted |
|
Boys of Bluegrass |
|
I'm the King |
