Thank God I'm a Country Boy

Well life on the farm is kinda laid back

Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack

Early to rise

Early in the sack

Thank God I'm a country boy

A simple kinda life

Never did me no harm

A raisin' me a family and

Workin' on a farm

My days are all filled

With an easy country charm

Thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife

I got me a fiddle

When the sun's comin' up

I got cakes on the griddle

Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle

Thank God I'm a country boy

When the work's all done

And the sun's settlin' low

I pull out my fiddle and

I rosin up the bow

The kids are asleep

So I keep it kinda low

Thank God I'm a country boy

I'd play Sally Goodin' all day if I could

But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good

So I fiddle when I can

And work when I should

Thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife

I got me a fiddle

When the sun's comin' up

I got cakes on the griddle

Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle

Oooh

Thank God I'm a country boy

Di-Di-Dow-Boo-Dow-Boo-Dow-Dow

Di-Boo-Dow-Di-Boo-Di-Boo-Dow-Dow

Di-Boo-Di-Boo-Dow

Di-Boo-Dow-Dow

Thank God I'm a country boy

I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds and jewels

I never was one of them money hungry fools

I'd rather have my fiddle

And my farmin' tools

Thank God I'm a country boy

Yeah city folk drivin'

In a black Limousine

A lotta sad people thinkin'

That's mighty keen

Now folks let me tell you now

Exactly what I mean

Thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife

I got me a fiddle

When the sun's comin' up

I got cakes on the griddle

Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle

Oooh

Thank God I'm a country boy

Di-Di-Dow-Boo-Dow-Boo-Dow-Dow

Di-Boo-Dow-Di-Boo-Di-Boo-Dow-Dow

Di-Boo-Di-Boo-Dow

Di-Boo-Dow-Dow

Thank God I'm a country boy

Well my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died

He took me by the hand

held me close to his side

He said "Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride"

Thank God I'm a country boy

My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle

He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle

He taught me how to love and how to give just a little

Thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife

I got me a fiddle

When the sun's comin' up

I got cakes on the griddle

Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle

Thank God I'm a country boy

Thank

God
