lirik lagu big tom (ire) - country music's here to stay
[verse 1]
once upon a time, there lived a singin’ railroad man
out in meridian, mississippi, u.s.a
slowly dyin’ for so long, he played and sang his yodelin’ songs
and carried country music to the world we know today
[chorus]
jimmie rodgers is the name we owe the credit or the blame
whatever sympathizes with your point of view
no previous record stars to guide him, just his old guitar
in there with mother maybelle carter ‘mong the pioneerin’ few
[verse 2]
once upon a time, there lived a man who built a swingin’ bridge
across our country music’s great divide
he introduced a rhythm, new, an off~beat kinda country blues
and someone named it “rock ‘n’ roll” soon after he had died
[chorus]
hank williams is the name we owe the credit or the blame
whatever sympathizes with your point of view
but all the driftin’ cowboys know who first gave life to rock ‘n’ roll
whoe’er forgot to thank him, now the honor’s overdue
[verse 3]
i hear some people knockin’ country music, now and then
[?][2:00] just hopin’ it may fall
but i feel kinda glad to know the news for them is bad and so
i tell them country music’s dad and mama of it all
[chorus]
a country song is like a rose, when in the wilderness, it grows
among the wildwood flowers born most every day
but a rose, by any other name, will keep its fragrance, just the same
whatever they may brand it, country music’s here to stay
