Country Boy

Johnny Cash

1. Country 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.
   
2. 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
   And of everything's gonna turn out right
   You're gonna fry fish tonight.

R: Country boy, you're lucky free
   Country boy, I wish I was you, and you were me.

3. Country boy, got work to do
   Country boy, in the morning dew
   You gotta cut the weeds, you gotta plant the seed
   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.

4. 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

R1: Country boy, you got lots to lose
    Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes.
