Lyrics: Meet Me Down in Nashville, May Hawks

Found on the 2012 album, Detroit in the 50’s – Boppin’ Hillbilly Series Vol. Two

Sweetheart I’m tired of roaming and I wanna settle down
I’m tired of gallivanting and painting up the town
I’m tired of all the other guys, my darling you were right
So meet me down in Nashville at the Opry tonight

I’ve seen the wildest side of life though sorrow it can bring
I didn’t want to leave you but I had to have my fling
And now I promise, darling, I’ll always do what’s right
So meet me down in Nashville at the Opry tonight

I’m sending you this telegram ’cause I want you to know
That I’m lost without you and I love you so
I’m hungry for your kisses darling in the pale moonlight
So meet me down in Nashville at the Opry tonight

I’ve met a lot of fellers in the States and Mexico
It’s true I was no angel those nights on the bayou
And now I want your love again, I’ll be a faithful wife
So meet me down in Nashville at the Opry tonight

So sweetheart be there waiting, I’ll ride fast as I can
You bring the ring and darling we’ll round up the preacher man
You gotta take me in your arms and kiss and hold me tight
When we meet down in Nashville at the Opry tonight
I mean the Grand Ol’ Opry down in Nashville tonight
