Tears At The Grand Ole Opry

Wanda Jackson · Four Classic Albums [2012]

Ask the Grand Ole Opry here in Nashville Tennessee

Everyone will be happy everybody but me

Tonight I'll be there by myself I won't be with somebody else

Cause the one that I love has been stolen away

Cause there'll be tears at the Grand Ole Opry tonight

And every Saturday night bitter tears I will fight

All the songs that I will hear will just bring sadness to my ear

Cause there'll be tears at the Grand Ole Opry tonight

[ fiddle - guitar ]

Cause there'll be tears at the Grand Ole Opry tonight

This old heart can't believe that you're gone from sight

There'll be no more joy and songs for me you were the only one

And there'll be tears at the Grand Ole Opry tonight
