Mama had a birthday some years ago
I said I'd take her anywhere she wanted to go
She thought for a minute and said, "Let's see,
How 'bout the Grand Ole Opry down in Tennessee?"

I took Mama to the Opry, one time
I took Mama to the Opry, one time
I took Mama to the Opry, one time
I took Mama to the Opry, one time

Took some time off work for a family retreat
Made a few phone calls, got some front row seats
Loaded up the kids and gassed up the van
We all headed out to Opryland

I took Mama to the Opry, one time
I took Mama to the Opry, one time
I took Mama to the Opry, one time
I took Mama to the Opry, one time

We saw Little Jimmy Dickens, Mama thought he was cute
Took a picture of Porter in his wagon wheel suit
Her eyes lit up just like a teenaged girl
When she heard Skeeter Davis singin' "End of the World"

Now Opryland's a shopping mall and Porter is gone
Mama has moved to a heavenly home
The Opry lives on better make you a date
Take your Mama to the Opry before it's too late

I took Mama to the Opry, one time
I took Mama to the Opry, one time
I took Mama to the Opry, one time
I took Mama to the Opry
And we had a big time
