Country Boy Lyrics - Singles - Little Jimmy Dickens

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 corn-bread lovin' 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
