Country Boys Lyrics - Singles - Ralph Mctell

I woke up this morning, I got booze on my breath 

And around my brain from the night before 

There's a cigarette burned out upon the table 

And a glass smashed out on the floor 

Well I must have had a good time 

Late last night 

When I woke up this morning 

I couldn't face the daylight 

Go and tell the country boys that I'm leaving 

Getting out, getting back to the Country! 

Who's that fella sleeping 

He's in my favourite chair? It's for sure 

I never have seen him before. 

Well where's my lady? 

And who was that who just went sliding 

Out the back door? 

Chorus 

Last night this joint was jumping 

That girl, man she was really something 

When she began to call me honey 

So naturally I spent all my money 

But I'm going back to the country 

These city ways ain't for me no more 

And that's for sure. 

I'll grow my beans and potatoes 

And you don't have to bar no windows 

And lock up no doors. 

Chorus
