SONG OF SONGS

BOXCAR WILLIE

(G) How I love that old melody they're (C) playing

I (D7) heard it in so many different (G) songs

It made stars out of country music (C) singers

And some-(D7) how it just keeps playin' (G) on.

Oh! I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes

Seems to me it's been around since time began

It was there with our soldiers during wartime

And right today, we still hear it, now and then.

Roy Acuff was young country singer

His records were just starting to be heard

That old tune took him right up to stardom

On The Wings Of The Great Speckled Bird.

Hank Thompson is a country music legend

He sang western swing and songs of peace and strife

That same tune gave old Hank the break he needed

On a record called The Wild Side Of Life.

A youny girl made the world stop and listen

Kitty Wells was that young singer's name

It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels

That melody rang clear as country rain.

Oh! those notes must come straight out of heaven

In so many different songs they were the same

I know someday they'll be etched in gold forever

And placed in the Country Music Hall Of Fame.

TAG: And placed in the Couunry Music Hall Of Fame.
