Country Boy

1. Country boy, ain't got no shoes

Country boy, ain't got no blues

Well, you work all day while you're wantin' to play

In the sun and the sand, with a face that's tan

But at the end of the day, when your work is done

You ain't got nothin' but fun.

2. Country boy, ain't got no ills

Country boy, don't owe no bills

You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm

While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook

And of everything's gonna turn out right

You're gonna fry fish tonight.

R: Country boy, you're lucky free

Country boy, I wish I was you, and you were me.

3. Country boy, got work to do

Country boy, in the morning dew

You gotta cut the weeds, you gotta plant the seed

There's many a row you know you gotta hoe

But when it's quittin' time, and your work is through

There's a lot of life in you.

4. Country boy, got a shaggy dog

Country boy, up a holler log

Well, he comes in a run, when you pick up your gun

And with a shell or two, and your dog and you

When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide

He's gonna be good fried.

R1: Country boy, you got lots to lose

Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes.
