Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back |
| [00:04.97] |
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack |
| [00:07.36] |
It's early to rise, early in the sack |
| [00:09.84] |
Thank God, I'm A Country Boy |
| [00:11.47] |
|
| [00:12.05] |
Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm |
| [00:14.63] |
A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm |
| [00:17.07] |
My days are all filled with an easy country charm |
| [00:19.61] |
Thank God I'm a country boy |
| [00:21.22] |
|
| [00:22.93] |
Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle |
| [00:24.38] |
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle |
| [00:27.02] |
Life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle |
| [00:29.52] |
Thank God I'm A country boy |
| [00:31.35] |
|
| [00:32.89] |
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low |
| [00:34.52] |
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow |
| [00:37.00] |
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low |
| [00:39.65] |
Thank God I'm a country boy |
| [00:41.33] |
|
| [00:41.97] |
I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could |
| [00:44.46] |
But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good |
| [00:46.86] |
So I fiddle when I can, work when I should |
| [00:49.64] |
Thank God, I'm a country boy |
| [00:51.35] |

| [00:52.06] |
Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle |

| [00:59.84] |
Thank God I'm A country boy |
| [01:01.55] |
|
| [01:22.50] |
Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels |
| [01:24.85] |
I never was one of them money hungry fools |
| [01:27.26] |
I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools |
| [01:29.95] |
Thank God I'm a country boy |
| [01:31.61] |
|
| [01:32.32] |
Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine |
| [01:34.87] |
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a mighty keen |

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle |

Well, my fiddle was my daddy's til the day he died |
| [02:15.14] |
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side |
| [02:17.71] |
He said...'Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride |
| [02:20.40] |
And thank God you're a country boy" |
| [02:22.15] |
|
| [02:22.93] |
My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle |
| [02:25.39] |
He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle |
| [02:27.81] |
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little |
| [02:33.25] |
Thank God I'm a country boy |
