Tom T. Hall Lyrics
"Intro to Song Eight"

Aww what a beautiful audience
Well you know I'd like to take this group on the road with me
And I'd also like to take this audience would really simplify my life wouldn't it
Just have a big crowd and a nice group everywhere you go
Well well I want I know you've been a great audience and I hate to impose
on you
But I want you to sing a song with me now and I wanna tell you that
Well you know of course that this program is being recorded
And will probably be re-broadcast to our arm forces fighting in Fort Knox
Kentucky
Or in Louisville down on 4th street
But I want you all to sing this song with me and you have a very simple part
in it now
And if you can remember this it's really gonna sound great
Your part is makes him feel mellow
Can you remember that
Now I want you to sing out real loud
And exuberant and and enthusiastic and everything
And the Lea Jane singers are gonna kind of lead the vocal group
They'll sing with us too
And don't sing till I point at you cause we'll have to stop and start all over
And we'll be singin' this song all week
Here we go
