Bill Monroe For Breakfast

Written by Tom T. Hall

	  		A When I was just a little boy, we D lived down on a A farm 
Seven miles from nowhere and a hundred miles from E7 harm 
We A made our livin' from the dirt, if D anything would A grow 
And we got our country music from a E7 big old radi-{A} o. And; 
 
CHORUS 
We had D Bill Monroe for breakfast ev'ry A day 
Then we'd head out to the fields, a-hoein' corn and mowin' E7 hay 
Aw! A mama loved his singin', daddy D loved to hear him A play 
And we had Bill Monroe for E7 breakfast ev'ry A day. 
 
We had a big old battery that ran the radio 
Sometimes we run it down, listenin' to the Opry Show 
But we all had our instruments and most of us could play 
So, we had Bill Monroe for breakfast, anyway. 
 
CHORUS 
Mama was a lady and my daddy liked to preach 
All we ever had was just a place to eat and sleep 
If I could go back home again, back to the simple ways 
Oh, we'd have Bill Monroe for breakfast ev'ry day. 
 
TAG: We had Bill Monroe for breakfast ev'ry day.
