Tear Down the Grand Ole Opry Lyrics


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

John Cowan Hartford (December 30, 1937– June 4, 2001) was an American country and bluegrass composer and musician known for his mastery of the fiddle and banjo, as well as for his witty lyrics, unique vocal style, and extensive knowledge of Mississippi River lore. Hartford performed with a variety of ensembles throughout his career, and is perhaps best known for his solo performances where he would interchange the guitar, banjo, and fiddle from song to song. He also invented his own shuffle tap dance move, and clogged on an amplified piece of plywood while he played and sang.
