Oh they say that country music's gone to town

Hold your flocks and put on the cap and gown

What's the country boy to do what's this world a comin' to

Oh they say that country music's gone to town



Grandpa used to take his dear old fiddle on his knee

And Uncle Buck would git the banjo down

The only music ever heard that could stop a mockin' bird

Now they say that country music's gone to town

Oh they say that country music's...

[ fiddle - el.banjo ]

One day I was walkin' through the canyons and the hills

I came upon a cabin far away

An old man with his banjo sat there a paddin' his big toe

And as he played it I could hear his say

Oh they say that country music's...
