Round That Old Radio

Suzy Hope


Pre ( Fade in and fade out)
Come and listen in to the radio station where the mighty hosts of heaven sing
Turn your radio on, turn your radio on

V1
In the corner of the mercantile stood an old round-dialed Zenth
A single green eye brightly glowed when a station was tuned near
For a barefoot boy in overhauls, what a miracle it seemed
Pop bottles changed for candy and sweet music in the air

V2
Saturdays pop wilkins closed down early as the checker players
Moved that big old radio to the front porch of the store
Like clockwork from the hollers folks would bring their chairs and gather
To listen to the opry as it played from shore to shore

Ch 1
Round that old radio,
we came together round that old radio
there were bottles of cold pop
and jugs of homemade wine
we came together round that old radio

Bridge
Toe tapping we'd sit chatting as we listened to the songs
About hobos wandering aimlessly and true love that went wrong
Perched on the edge of circled chairs love stories touched our hearts
(And the)Spine tinglers caused shivers as the dusk turned into dark

V3
On the front porch of our old house nestled deep within the holler
Stands that old round dialed Zenith with a green eye glowing bright
And like clockwork every Saturday friends and family bring their chairs
To listen to the opry as it plays on through the night

Ch 2
Round that old radio,
we come together round that old radio
there are bottles of cold pop
and jugs of homemade wine
we come together round that old radio
we come together round that old radio
