long john hunter - in the country lyrics

[ spoken word intro ]

say, ya’ll come around here
lemme, lemme try to explain something about how it was in the country
man, i’m talking about it was tough in the country
now look at here
there was 12 of us in our family you know
and can you imagine 12 people eating off one chicken?
hah!
now, man that was tough
i remember when they used to have these little sat+rday night suppers
you know? and these old guys would be sittin’ round
playing these old, old low down blues
i’m talking about those down home blues
say give me my ol’ guitar
lemme tell you how they were doing it down there in those days

[ chorus ]

in the country
no telling what might happen on sat+rday night
hey! in the country, yeah
no telling what might happen on sat+rday night
they’ll be struttin’
ducking, and diving
starvin’ to boogie
and starvin’ to fight
[ verse 1 ]

when you see a woman walkin’
more heavy on one side
she’s lookin’ for her old man
more dead than alive

[ chorus ]

in the country
no telling what might happen on sat+rday night
they’ll be struttin’
ducking, and diving
starvin’ to boogie
and starvin’ to fight

[ verse 2 ]

little parker
started runnin’
heading for the door
went right through the screen wire
left blood stains on the floor

[ chorus ]
in the country
no telling what might happen on sat+rday night
they’ll be struttin’
duckin’ and divin’
starvin’ to boogie
and starvin’ to fight
