Pop Goes The Country Guest Lynn Anderson And Jerry Wallace 1974

Pop Goes The Country Lynn Anderson And Jerry Wallace 1974. Pop! Goes the Country is a weekly half-hour syndicated variety country music television series that originally aired from September 7, 1974 through January 1, 1982 for a total of 234 episodes. Originally hosted by Ralph Emery, the series was recorded at the Grand Ole Opry and featured comedy sketches, performances by and interviews with country music singers, both established celebrities and up and coming singers and musicians. In 1980, Tom T. Hall replaced Emery as the host. In the final year of the series, comedian Jim Varney became a member of the show, and the show moved from the Opry House to Opryland USA’s Gaslight Theater. It is also considered as a spin-off of The Porter Wagoner Show. The Statler Brothers sang the show’s original theme song.

The series’ title referenced the influence pop music was having on country music in the works of the era’s country music performers such as Barbara Mandrell, Lynn Anderson, Dolly Parton, and Anne Murray, all of whom appeared as guests on the program, although performers with more traditional styles such as Loretta Lynn and Mel Tillis were also featured during the show’s run.

Lynn Anderson – Rose Garden Lyrics

[Chorus]
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there’s gotta be a little rain sometime
When you take you gotta give so live and let live or let go
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden

[Verse 1]
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don’t find roses growin’ on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well, if sweet talkin’ you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter?

[Pre-Chorus]
So smile for a while and let’s be jolly
Love shouldn’t be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
[Chorus]
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there’s gotta be a little rain sometime
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden

[Verse 2]
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that’s what it takes to hold you, I’d just as soon let you go
But there’s one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
And there won’t always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I’m talkin’ about

[Pre-Chorus]
So smile for a while and let’s be jolly
Love shouldn’t be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

[Chorus]
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there’s gotta be a little rain sometime
I beg your pardon
