phantom of the opry
Singer:wills, mark
a shadow appears on center stage
and sings a haunting melody
while a distant fiddle plays
and you can almost see a rhinestone
he's still a living legend
living right here in my heart
he's the phantom of the opry
a grand old spirit from the ryman days
he just feels at home here
he don't really mean to haunt this place
every time it rains in nashville
cause the phantom of the opry
some say it's hanker or lefty
or that kentucky bluebird flying back again
we all know it's more than just the wind
there's a ghostly sound of steel guitar
doesn't come from center stage
often somewhere on the other side
he's the phantom of the opry
a grand old spirit from the ryman days
he just feels at home here
he don't really mean to haunt this place
every time it rains in nashville
cause the phantom of the opry
a shadow appears on center stage
while a distant fiddle plays
