Lyrics
“Grandest Lady Of Them All”
She’s never in the spotlights
But everybody knows that she’s the star
And once she shines upon you
She’ll make you truly proud of where you are.She’ll wipe away the pain of all the dues she had to pay
When the curtain to her world starts to unfold
With mother tender hand she will applaud
And feed the hunger in your soul.And she’s known as the Grand Ole Opry
Where the legend come to call
She’s the queen of country music
She’s the grandest lady of them all.She sings of desperados
And lonesome whistle love and midnight train
And the coal mines of Kentucky
And how it feels to be out in the rain.She sings of Texas cowboys of hoboes and the heroes
And the loneliness up where and prison blues
But most of all she sings about
The common people just like me and you.And she’s known as the Grand Ole Opry
Where the legend come to call
She’s the queen of country music
She’s the grandest lady of them all…
