Tribute To
Minnie Pearl
I was a child of the forty's Sitting
around that big old radio With
my dear mama and daddy Listening
to the opry show. I
remember hearing HOWDEEEEE As
friendly as I ever heard; And,
oh, how we laughed on Saturday nights To
the jokes of sweet Minnie Pearl Her
real name was Sarah Cannon, But
we knew her as Minnie Pearl. In
her private life she was great, Helping
people throughout the world She
was friends with more presidents Than
most of us have ever seen, But
she loved the real common folks. She
was truly the opry queen Minnie
was an entertainer And
a character loved by all, And
you have to think of her ole straw hat When
you think of the Ryman Hall. She
was just so proud to be here And
we were so proud to have her, The
young lady from Grinders Switch. She
was country music’s real pearl. Minnie,
I’m just someone who’s real thankful For
being on this earth with you. Other
great ladies will follow, But
none will ever fill your Mary Jane shoes. You
were queen of the Grand Ole Opry For
forty years and more, And
you took our hearts with you, When
you walked through heaven’s door. Yes!
Minnie, you’re gone from us now, But
you left sweet memories behind. We will never forget you, Mam. You will forever be on our mind
