[Intro]
  D    A   D(RECORDING Eb)
[Verse]
GODNNA TELL YOU 'BOUT A PICKIN' PARTY DOWN ON THE LOWER FORTY
BACK OF GRANDMA'S PLAACE. SHE INVITED FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS
FROM A HUNDRED MILES A ROUND AND I WISH YOU COULD HAVE SEEN HER FDACE
WHEN THE FOLKS STARTED SHOWIN' UP WITH MANDOLINS AND PICNIC LUNCHES
TO HAVE A BD7IG OLD TGIME. THEY'ER PICKIN' TUNES THAT COULD
TUG YOUR HEDART STRINGS, SINGIN' SOANGS THAT COULD MAKE YOU CDRY
[Chorus]
IDT WAS A ROUGH CUT RHAPSODY, FULL OF HOMEMADE HARAMONY
MUSIC THAT COULD SET YOU FREE, IT WAS A BACK YARD SYMDPHONY
[Verse]
WDELL, WE PUSHED BACK THE CHAIRS AND WE DANCED A FEW SQUARES
THAT LASTED INTO THE NEXT DAAY. MY AUNTIE JANE WAS THE CALLER
AND HOW SHE COULD HOLLER. SHE DIDN'T EVEN USE THE DPA
I WAS JUST A KID, BUT DANCIN' IS WHAT I DID. I COULD STEP UP TO
BD7EAT THE BGAND. THE MUSIC HELPED TO MAKE THE MADGIC WHEN I HAELD
MY DARLI'N BY THE HDAND
[Chorus]
IDT WAS A ROUGH CUT RHAPSODY, FULL OF HOMEMADE HARAMONY
MUSIC THAT COULD SET YOU FREE, IT WAS A BACK YARD SYMDPHONY
[Verse]
MDUST'A BEEN A DOZEN FIDDLES AND A PECK OF GUITARS AND UNCLE
BUBBA BROUGHT THE OLD STRING BAASS. WE SANG OLD SONGS AND
NEW SONGS, HAPPY SONGS, TRUE SONGS, KIDS A RUNNIN' EVERDYPLACE.
THEN IT GOT KINDA MELLO. MAMA PLAYED THE CHELLO.
DAD WAS ON THE ED7DGE OF TEGARS. SHE PLAYED AN OLD COUNTRY WALTZ
AND LOTS OF FODLKS DANCIN' CLOSE HADN'T HEALD EACH OTHER
THAT WAY FOR YEDARS.
[Chorus]
IDT WAS A ROUGH CUT RHAPSODY, FULL OF HOMEMADE HARAMONY
MUSIC THAT COULD SET YOU FREE, IT WAS A BACK YARD SYMDPHONY
[Verse]
NDOW I USED TO PLAY THE FIDDLE, I DANCED QUITE A LITTLE, BUT NOW I
PLAY THE RAADIO. I'M GETTIN' OLDER, I'M AILIN', MY BODY IS FAILIN'
MY EYES AND EARS ARE STARTING TO DGO, BUT REGARDLESS OF AGE
THERE ARE THINGS THAT DON'T CHANGE. IF I LIVE TO BE ONE HUD7NDRED
AND TGEN. THE MEMORY'S DEEP IN MY HEART AND ANYDTIME THAT I
WANT I CLAOSE MY EYES AND BE THERE AGDAIN.
[Chorus]
IDT WAS A ROUGH CUT RHAPSODY, FULL OF HOMEMADE HARAMONY
MUSIC THAT COULD SET YOU FREE, IT WAS A BACK YARD SYMDPHONY
IDT WAS A ROUGH CUT RHAPSODY, FULL OF HOMEMADE HARAMONY
MUSIC THAT COULD SET YOU FREE, IT WAS A BACK YARD SYMDPHONY
BDY NOW YOU KNOW IT MEANT A LOT TO ME, OUR LITTLE BAACK YARD....., BACK YARD SYDMPHONY
