Ralph Stanley didn’t set out to achieve fortune or fame
but by the time he left this world, his was a household name
Ralph was among the greats, he was a true bluegrass king
Everybody was amazed when they heard him play & sing
His voice it really stood out w/that high lonesome tenor ring
The music that he left behind is a precious legacy
If I would’ve gotten to meet him it would have meant the world to me
