"When Country Had A Face"
That old black n white didn't have a good picture
most the time it rolled outta place,
but Daddy somehow fiddled to keep it goin
back when country had a face
(chorus)
There was Porter in his Nudie suits, Ernest in his Texas boots,everybody you recognized,
Loretta and the Carter clan, Johnny the singin fisherman, back when country had a face
Every Saturday night you brought em into your household
some were even sellin merchandise ,
they made ya laugh and put your hands together
and their sad songs made ya cry-yyy
(chorus)
There was cousin Minnie from Grinderswitch, Statler brothers in perfect pitch ,a visit or two from Jimmy Dean
Jones 's song about a horse race, back when country, when country had a face
let's not forget lil Jimmy Dickens coz that would be a disgrace, when country had a face
