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 |
[00:26.320] |

[00:28.030] |
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] |

[02:20.240] |
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side |
[02:22.800] |
|

[02:25.500] |
And thank God you're a country boy" |

[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 |
