|
I was born in a small town |
|
But I'm livin' in a big town |
|
They gave me a top hat and cane |
|
In trade for a shady lane |
|
Well, I'll give you back your big town |
|
If you'll give me back a small town |
|
Keep your top hats and canes, |
|
Give me those prairies and plains. |
|
If I had one wish to make |
|
this is the wish I would choose, |
|
I'd want An Old Straw Hat |
|
a suit of overalls |
|
and a worn out pair of shoes. |
|
Just let me roam around |
|
laughing at Big City Blues, |
|
With An Old Straw Hat |
|
a suit of overalls |
|
and a worn out pair of shoes. |
|
Howdy Mister Brown, |
|
ho hum |
|
goin' fishin', |
|
hope you get a bite. |
|
Howdy Mister Jones |
|
ho hum |
|
how's about a hay ride |
|
Saturday night? |
|
Sing "Heigh ho, |
|
the merrio" |
|
What have you got, |
|
What have you got to lose? |
|
Get An Old Straw Hat |
|
a suit of overalls |
|
and a worn out musty, |
|
rusty, dusty, |
|
pair of shoes. |
