Jerry Reed - Phantom Of The Opry lyrics

Well I'm the Nashville Phantom And I've been hangin' around Saturday Night Live since 1925 When the Opry first came to town I live in barnyards boxcars and freight yards There ain't a honky tonk where I ain't been Raised on goo goo bars moonshine from fruit jars Born to lose but determined to win I'm the phantom of the Opry I discovered all the stars my friend I am the spirit of country music Keep those cards and letters comin' in I gave Mother Maybelle her thumb pick Carl Perkins his blue suede shoes I taught Acuff to fiddle made Jimmy Dickens little And I sang Hank Williams the blues I showed Grandpa Jones how to banjo Chet could pick but I learned him to grin I laid howdy on Minnie made Stringbean skinny And I'd do it all over again I'm the phantom of the Opry...
