Country Boy lyrics
Song information
Artist: Little Jimmy Dickens
Album: I'm Little But I'm Loud: The Little Jimmy Dickens Collection
Lyrics
Now, I'm just a simple guy
But there's one thing sure as shootin'
I hate those folks that think that they're
So doggone high fa lutin
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'
Chorus
I'm a plain, old country boy
A corn-bread lovin' country boy
I raise cain on saturday
But I go to church on sunday
I'm a plain, old country boy
A tater eating country boy
I'll be lookin' over that old grey 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 youngin-hood, with epson salts and iodine
Made my diapers out of old feed sacks, my 'spenders out of plow lines
Chorus
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
T'was the gizzard and the north end of a chicken flyin' south
Chorus
