hampton the hampster - thank god i'm a country boy lyrics
[verse 1]
well, life on the farm is kinda laid back
ain’t much an old country boy like me can’t hack
early to rise, early in the sack
thank god i’m a country boy
a simple kinda life never did me no harm
a-raisin’ me a family and workin’ on a farm
my days are all filled with an easy country charm
thank god i’m a country boy
[chorus]
well i got me a fine wife, i got me a fiddle
when the sun’s comin’ up i got cakes on the griddle
life ain’t nothin’ but a funny, funny riddle
thank god i’m a country boy
[verse 2]
when the work’s all done and the sun’s settin’ low
i pull out my fiddle and i rosin up the bow
the kids are asleep so i keep it kinda low
thank god i’m a country boy
i’d play sally goodin’ all day if i could
but the lord and my wife wouldn’t take it very good
so i fiddle when i can, and work when i should
thank god i’m a country boy
[chorus]
well i got me a fine wife, i got me a fiddle
when the sun’s comin’ up i got cakes on the griddle
life ain’t nothin’ but a funny, funny riddle
thank god i’m a country boy

[verse 3]
i wouldn’t trade my life for diamonds and jewels
i never was one of them money-hungry fools
i’d rather have my fiddle and my farmin’ tools
thank god i’m a country boy
yeah, city folk drivin’ in a black limousine
a lotta sad people thinkin’ that’s mighty keen
now folks, let me tell you now exactly what i mean
thank god i’m a country boy
[chorus]
well i got me a fine wife, i got me a fiddle
when the sun’s comin’ up i got cakes on the griddle
life ain’t nothin’ but a funny, funny riddle
thank god i’m a country boy

thank god i’m a country boy!
[verse 4]
well, my fiddle was my daddy’s till the day he died
he took me by the hand, held me close to his side
he said, “live a good life and play my fiddle with pride”
thank god i’m a country boy
my daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
he taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
he taught me how to love and how to give just a little
thank god i’m a country boy
[chorus]
well i got me a fine wife, i got me a fiddle
when the sun’s comin’ up i got cakes on the griddle
life ain’t nothin’ but a funny, funny riddle
thank god i’m a country boy

ding-de-do-de-do-do-do
de-de-de-de-de-do-do-do
ding-de-do-de-do-do-do
thank god i’m a country boy!
