We told our friends that Bill Monroe brought the bluegrass sound with him when he came to the Grand Ole Opry.
Is that right?
You're right, Bill.
And we've heard some great compliments on the job that you and your boys did at the Newport Folk Music Festival.
Must have been an [Am] exciting experience.
Oh, it was.
Really wonderful.
Boy, you're [E] a talkative one, [G] Bill.
As the solemn [E] old judge, George D.
Hay, used to say,
[N] here's Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys' letter go boys.

Hey, did you [A] know about some man
High on a hill in a bustin' town
On a big plate and a bit of lard
A house of rain
If you had talk you could hear it [A] sing
There
[D] [A]
was an old preacher called Soldier Joe
He had some money for a bustin' boy
He said, the greatest of all was Jenny Lynn
And he said, that's where the feelin' begins

A house of rain

Oh, never forget that mornin' for Dad
When Uncle Ben was called away
With that hungry fiddle
He hung up his bow
He knew it was time for him to go
[D] Hey, did you know [A] about some man
High on a hill in a bustin' town
On a big plate and a bit of lard
A house of rain
