The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Jimmy Martin lyrics

Well they call me Jimmy Martin And they say that I can sing Of them lonesome broken hearted Boys of Bluegra** 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 Bluegra** Boys Yea they call me Jimmy Martin And they say that I can sing Of them lonesome broken hearted Boys of Bluegra** 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 Bluegra** I'm the King Of them lonesome broken hearted Boys of Bluegra** I'm the King
