Artist: Johnny Cash Album: Original Sun Sound (1964) Title: Country Boy
Lyrics Country BoyCountry 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
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
Country boy you're lucky free
Country boy I wish I was you and you was me
Country boy got work to do
Country boy in the morning dew
You gotta cut the weeds
You gotta plant the seeds
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
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
Country boy you got lots to lose
Country boy how I wish I was in your shoes |
