Well life on the farm
is kind-a laid back
Ain't much an old country boy
like me can't hack
It's early to rise
Early in the sack
Thank God
I'm a country boy
Well the simple kind-a life
never did me no harm
A raisin' me a family
and workin' on the farm
My days are all filled
with an easy country charm
Thank God
I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife
I got me ole fiddle
When the sun's comin' up
I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin'
but a funny funny riddle
Thank God
I'm a country boy
When the work's all done
and the sun's settin' low
I pull out my fiddle
and I rosin up the bow
The kids are asleep
So I keep it kind-a low
Thank God
I'm a country boy
I'd play Sally Goodin
all day if I could
But the Lord and my wife
wouldn't take it very good
So I fiddle when I can
Work when I should
Thank God
I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife
I got me ole fiddle
When the sun's comin' up
I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin'
but a funny funny riddle
Thank God
I'm a country boy woo hoo
Well I wouldn't trade my life
for diamonds or jewels
I never was one of them
money-hungry fools
I'd rather have my fiddle
and my farmin' tools
Thank God
I'm a country boy
Yeah city folk drivin'
in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin'
that's-a mighty keen
Son let me tell ya now
exactly what I mean
Thank God
I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife
I got me ole fiddle
When the sun's comin' up
I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin'
but a funny funny riddle
Thank God
I'm a country boy yes sir
Well my fiddle was my
daddy's 'til the day he died
And he took me by the hand
and held me close to his side
Said a-live a good life
and play my fiddle with pride
And thank God
you're a country boy
Well my daddy
taught me young
how to hunt
and how to whittle
Taught me
how to work
and play a tune
on the fiddle
Taught me how to love
and how to give just a little
And thank God
I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife
I got me ole fiddle
When the sun's comin' up
I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin'
but a funny funny riddle
Woo thank God
I'm a country boy yeah
