  SONG OF SONGS

  Recorded by Boxcar Willie and Willie Nelson

  Written by Vern Stovall, Bill Palmer & Lloene Martin (Boxcar Willie)

  

  Note. To the tune of I'M THINKING TONIGHT OF MY BLUE EYES

  

  [G] How I love that old melody they're [C] playing

  I [D7] heard it in so many different [G] songs

  It made stars out of country music [C] singers

  And some-[D7] how it just keeps playin' [G] on.

  

  Oh! I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes

  Seems to me it's been around since time began

  It was there with our soldiers during wartime

  And right today, we still hear it, now and then.

  

  Roy Acuff was young country singer

  His records were just starting to be heard

  That old tune took him right up to stardom

  On The Wings Of The Great Speckled Bird.

  

  Hank Thompson is a country music legend

  He sang western swing and songs of peace and strife

  That same tune gave old Hank the break he needed

  On a record called The Wild Side Of Life.

  

  A youny girl made the world stop and listen

  Kitty Wells was that young singer's name

  It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels

  That melody rang clear as country rain.

  

  Oh! those notes must come straight out of heaven

  In so many different songs they were the same

  I know someday they'll be etched in gold forever

  And placed in the Country Music Hall Of Fame.

  

  TAG: And placed in the Couunry Music Hall Of Fame.
