Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back |
| [00:10.070] |
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack |
| [00:12.460] |
It's early to rise, early in the sack |
| [00:14.940] |
Thank God, I'm A Country Boy |
| [00:16.570] |
|
| [00:17.150] |
Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm |
| [00:19.730] |
A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm |
| [00:22.170] |
My days are all filled with an easy country charm |
| [00:24.710] |
Thank God I'm a country boy |

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle |
| [00:29.480] |
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle |
| [00:32.120] |
Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle |
| [00:34.620] |
Thank God I'm A country boy |
| [00:36.450] |
|
| [00:37.990] |
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low |
| [00:39.620] |
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow |
| [00:42.100] |
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low |
| [00:44.750] |
Thank God I'm a country boy |
| [00:46.430] |
|
| [00:47.070] |
I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could |
| [00:49.560] |
But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good |
| [00:51.960] |
So I fiddle when I can, work when I should |
| [00:54.740] |
Thank God, I'm a country boy |
| [00:56.450] |
|
| [00:57.160] |
Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle |

|
| [01:37.420] |

Well, my fiddle was my daddy's til the day he died |
| [02:20.240] |
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side |
| [02:22.800] |
|
| [02:22.810] |
He said...'Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride |
| [02:25.500] |
And thank God you're a country boy" |
| [02:27.250] |

| [02:28.030] |
My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle |
| [02:30.480] |
|
| [02:30.490] |
He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle |
| [02:32.910] |
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little |
| [02:38.350] |
Thank God I'm a country boy |
