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

It's early to rise early in the sack

A raising me a family and working on a farm

My days are all filled

With an easy country charm

When the sun's coming up

I got cakes on the griddle

And life ain't nothing

But a funny funny riddle

Thank God I'm a country boy

And the sun's settling low

I pull out the fiddle

And I rosing up the bow

The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low

How to hunt and how to whittle

Taught me how to work

To play a tune on the fiddle

He taught me how to love

And how to give just a little
