Country Boy

In the style of

"Little" Jimmy Dickens

Lyrics

now i'm just
a simple guy
but there's one thing
sure as shootin'

i hate those folks
who think that
they're so dad-burned
highfalutin

i'd be the same
in hollywood
or right in
my own kitchen

i believe in fussin'
when you're mad
and scratchin'
when you're itchin'

i'm a plain old
country boy
a cornbread lovin'
country boy

i raise cain
on saturday
but i go to church
on sunday

i'm a plain old
country boy
a cornbread lovin'
country boy

i'll be lookin' over
that old gray mule
when the sun comes up
on monday

where i come from
opportunities
they never were
too good

we never had
much money
but we done
the best we could

ma doctored me
from young'un-hood
with epsom salts
and iodine

made my diapers
out of old feed sacks
my 'spenders
out of plow lines

i'm a plain old
country boy
a cornbread lovin'
country boy

i raise cain
on saturday
and i go to church
on sunday

i'm a plain old
country boy
a 'tater eatin'
country boy

i'll be lookin' over
that old gray mule
when the sun comes up
on monday

every time
the preacher called
ma always fixed
a chicken

if i'd reach for
a drumstick
i was sure
to get a lickin'

she always saved
two parts for me
but i had to
shut my mouth

'twas the gizzard
and the north end
of a chicken
flyin' south

i'm a plain old
country boy
a cornbread lovin'
country boy

i raise cain
on saturday
but i go to church
on sunday

i'm a plain old
country boy
a 'tater eatin'
country boy

i'll be lookin' over
that old gray mule
when the sun comes up
on monday
