Country boy, ain't got no shoes, Country boy, ain't got no blues.
E
Well, you work all day while you're wantin' to play
In the sun and the sand, with a face that's tanned,
But at the end of the day, when your work is done,
B7 E
You ain't got nothin' but fun.
A E A E
Country boy, ain't got no ills, Country boy, don't owe no bills.
E
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.
If everything's gonna turn out right,
B7 E
You're gonna fry fish tonight.
A E
Country boy, you lucky free
A B7 E
Country boy, I wish I was you and you was me

Country boy, you got work to do, Country boy, in the morning dew
E
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,
B7 E
There's a lot of life in you.

Country boy, you got a shaggy dog, Country boy, up a hollor log.
E
Well, he comes in a run, when you pick up your gun,
And with a shell or two, and your dog and you, B7 E
When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide, he's gonna be good fried.
A E
Country boy, you got a lot to lose,
A B7 E
Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes.
