Country boy, ain't got no shoes Country boy, ain't got no blues Well, you work all day while you're waiting to play In the sun and the sand, with cheeks of tan at the end of the day, when your work is done You ain't got nothing but fun Country boy, ain't got no ills Country boy, don't owe no bills You got a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook If everything's gonna turn out right, you're gonna fry fish tonight Country boy, you got a lot to lose Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes Country boy, you got a shaggy dog
Country boy, up a hollow 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 friend Country boy, you got a lot to lose Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes Country boy, you got work to do Country boy, in the morning dew You gotta plant the seed, you gotta cut the weeds There's many a row you know you gotta hoe When it's quitting time, and your work is through There's a lot if life in you Country boy, you lucky thing Country boy, I wish I was you, and you was me
