Ben Colder Country Music Hall Of Fame Lyrics

(I dreamed I was there with the stars)

Last night I dreamed I went on a tour
Through the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville
Tennesse
And my guide was none other than America's most beloved
cowboy Tex Ritter
First we stood outside and he said this is the place
where Big Joe Talbet
Threw the detergent in the fountain here at the CMA
And made such a mountain of suds
That it floated down the 16th Avenue and engulfed
Columbia Studio
Then we went inside and he said here in the first
section
You will see the actual boots that Ernest Tubb wore
The night he wrote that fantastic smash I'm Walking The
Floor Over You
You'll notice that the soles are a little thin but then
so is Ernest
He said this is the actual fiddle bow that fiddlin'
Chubby used on stage
The night he knocked the toupee off of the little
cowboy And this is the actual toupee that the little cowboy
wore
You'll notice that it's still attached to the fiddle
bow
And this is the little cowboy you'll notice he's still
attached to the toupee
Aw he showed me many wonderful thing
He even showed me the pulley bone from Minnie Pearl's
first fried chicken
And he gave me an autographed picture
Of America's most beloved cowboy on his wonder horse
White Flash
And showed me a list of all the people
That would be entered in the Music Hall of Fame
In the next ten to fifteen years
I started to read
Jack Clement Merv Shiner Jim Vienneau
Bonnie Guitar and her sister Fender
Cy Coben Ben Colder
Ben Colder well that's when I woke up and I'm kinda
sorry I did
Because I figure that's as about as close as I'm ever
gonna get
To the Country Music Hall of Fame
