It's called The Ryman auditorium,
From here came country stars,
Old Hank, Johnny Cash,
And Chet Atkins on guitar..

Their songs still echo from the shadows,
Like "Cold, Cold Heart, and "Walk The Line"
Down the halls of The Ryman,
You can hear Patsy Cline..

On your next Tennessee vacation,
It's a grand place to go
Classic country came from here,
The Grand Ole Opry Show..

Billy Walker, Johnny Paycheck,
Roy Acuff fiddles fine
Those old ghosts of the Ryman
Are still stars that shine..

Many mem'ries haunt The Ryman,
Minnie Pearl, Jimmy Dean
Ernest Tubb and Kitty Wells,
Grandpa Jones..makes the scene

Porter Wagoner, Boxcar Willie,
Hear Don Helms steel guitar whine
Those old ghosts of The Ryman
Are still stars that shine..

Yes, the ghosts of The Ryman
Are still stars that shine..
