What do you mean, Rodney? Well, I standing down here on Church Street a little while ago, just standing there like a human being minding everybody's business but mine. And I got sleepy looking up at all them tall buildings. And all of a sudden I yawned and gagged a couple of times there and the fell walked up and mailed a letter in my mouth.

How's that? Couldn't hear thunder by now. Now that you have visited me, you got to do something on the radio. How about singing a song, huh? Song? Yeah. Song, Rodney. I don't know but two songs. One's a doxology and the other ain't. Well, what is the other? Soul. How's that? Well, I'll just pick one. I said, what is the other song? Uncle Zype. Boy, it's a good one. Yeah? Yep. I learned it back in 1917. Yes, sir. It's called Mademoiselle from Armamentiers. Boy, it's got some verses in it that won't quit. Well, never mind, never mind. Now that's. That's all right.

One day as I was walking Moving great Lord, I do thank God I In his care he was a good man, Lord he prayed the angels open up the window he was a good man, Lord and he prayed Because I thank God as in his care Song of simple praise and faith We've chosen for the night One that our papas and mamas Hung long before us Will the circle be unbroken I was standing by my window on one cold and cloudy day When I saw them first come rolling or to carry my mother with Will the circle be unbroken by and by, Lord, by and by There's a better home Awaken in the sky, Lord in the sky Lord, I told that undertaker Undertaker, please drive slow for this lady. You are holy Lord, I hate to see her go Will the circle be unbroken by, by, Lord, by, by There's a better circ. Home Awaken in the sky, Lord, in the sky okay. Is Roy Acres. Thank you. Thank you, friends. Roy, let me see. I was going to read your line there. I know you're the kind of guy that'd rather sing than eat. Yep, and I'd rather sing than talk, too. Well, that's what we wanted to hear you say. And here's Roy Acuff along with his Smoky Mountain Boy singing the Waltz of the Wake. You were there in my arms Alone in the moonlight the trees played the walls of the wind. It was there that I knew I'd love you forever we danced to the walls of the wind the stars up above you look down in your eyes and told me the night would never end Now I'm dreaming of you Till we meet tomorrow and dance to the walls of the. You were there in my arms alone in the moonlight the trees played the walls of the wind. It was there that I knew I'd love you forever we dance to the walls of the wind the stars up above you looked down in your eyes and told me the night would never end Now I'm dreaming of you Till we meet tomorrow and dance to the woes of the wind. All right, fine. And tell your boys not to stay off after the pretty gals, because you've got to give us another a little later on. Besides, if they have an eye for beauty. Well, here she is, Cousin Minnie Pearl.

Howdy. How do? I'm just as proud to be here this year. Dress that I've got on is 5 year old this year. That ain't no story neither. That's true. Red Foley says he thinks it looks pretty good for the shape it's on. Of course, I don't worry too much as long as I've got headsy. That there's my fellers hazy. Y' all ain't never had to tell of him, has ye? I'll tell you about him if you ain't careful. Well, that feller of mine says he sometimes he gets so affectionate with me. Just last night he was just a pinching my cheek and a tweaking my nose. Wasn't that sweet? It hurts, though. He uses a pair of pliers. But when Hussy come over last night and we was just sitting there on the double set, sitting in the front room, me by him and him by me, well, I just kind of turned the lights kind of low and we was just sitting there. And finally we'll head to. Says, minnie Pearl, can I ask you an important question? And I said, the answer's yes. And you know what he asked me? He says, minnie Pearl, can I look behind the cushions and see if anybody's lost any loose change? Well, sir, Brother. Brother, has finally went into business for himself. And one thing about brother, he never fails at nothing. He tries to. He never tries nothing. This time we think, though, he's gonna be a success. You know how long brother's hair gets? You know, way down over his eye. Well, his brother finally decided to cut his hair. He's gonna keep cutting it until he gets enough to make a mattress. I guess so. I was the biggest news in Grindy Fit this week. I had no picture in the New York Times. I did. Oh, I surprised folks that seen it. Says I look kind of scared and flustered. I probably was when they took the picture. The camera and my garter snapped at the same time. Well, Daddy embarrassed me to tell that I oughtn't to set it. Ought to read. That's why I don't care for nothing. Looks like. Well, Uncle Nabob, he was there at the picture and just to be friendly, he offered to photograph a feller a dab of his corn squeezes. And the feller said, no, thank you. No, sir. Why, don't you know that stuff, Slow Poison? And Uncle Nabob said, well, that's all right. I ain't in no hurry. Burn. I see.

Well, sir, I know you folks have never heard the steel guitar played on the harmonica, but tonight you're going to hear it. Wayne Rainey playing a mighty difficult piece to play on the harp. And that is the steel guitar rag. Wayne. Come on, boy, let's go. Well, see, they say a bird can't fly on one wing. At least that's what they tell me. So, naturally, we can't go on. Just one song from my guest and friend, Roy Acre. Roy says his second song will be his famous recorded version of thank God. Thank God for every flower and each tree thank God for all the mountains and the sea thank God for giving my to you and me Wherever you may be thank God There's a road that's straight and narrow that the saints have traveled on Paved with all the tribulations of the martyrs that have gone if you're grateful for their victory and for showing us the way Then give thanks for all your blessings get on your knees and pray thank God for everybody Every flower and these trees thank God for all the mountains and the sea thank God for giving life to you and me Wherever you may be thank God Be forgiving to the wayward like the master told us to when he said forgive them, Father for they know not what they do they would change their way of listening if they could but understand so remember they're your brothers they need your helping hands. Thank God for every flower and each tree thank God for all the mountains and the sea thank God for giving life to you and me Wherever you may be. Thank God Well, Roy, we hope you'll make another date with us real soon. I'd like to sing one here that called My Hang My Head and Cry Every time I see her passing by All I do is hang my head and cry and I can't forgive her though I try All I do is hang my head and cry oh, I know not how to ease my mind since she left a world of love behind Every time I see her passing by All I do is hang my head and cry Foolish pride, oh pride, what have I done? You have made me lose my only one night each time I see her paradise passing by All I do is hang my head and cry. That's about all for now, but we'll be back again next week with another grand old Opry. This is the United States Armed Forces Radio Service, the voice of information and education.
