Oh they say that country music's gone to town   Hold your flocks and put on the cap and gown   What's the country girl to do what's this world a comin' to   Oh they say that country music's gone to town      Now Grandpa used to take his dear old fiddle on his knee   And Uncle Buck would git the banjo down   Only music ever heard that could stop a mockin' bird   Now they say that country music's gone to town   Oh they say that country music's...   [ el.banjo ]   One day I was walkin' through the canyons and the hills   I came upon a cabin far away   An old man with his banjo sat there a paddin' his big toe   And as he played it I could hear his say   Oh they say that country music's...   Oh they say that country music's...   Oh they say that country music's gone to town
