(Verse 1)

Well life on the farm is kinda laid back

Aint much an old country boy like me cant hack

Its early to rise, early in the sack

Thank God Im a country boy

Well 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 Im a country boy

(Chorus)

Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle

When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle

Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle

Thank God Im a country boy

(Verse 2)

When the works all done and the suns settlin low

I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow

The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low

Thank God Im a country boy

Id play Sally Goodin all day if I could

But the lord and my wife wouldnt take it very good

So I fiddle when I could, work when I should

Thank God Im a country boy

(Chorus)

Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle

When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle

Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle

Thank God Im a country boy

Well I wouldnt trade my life for diamonds and jewels

I never was one of them money hungry fools

Iid rather have my fiddle and my farmin tools

Thank God Im a country boy

Yeah, city folk drivin in a black limousine

A lotta sad people thinkin thats mighty keen

Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean

Thank God Im a country boy

(Chorus)

Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle

When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle

Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle

Thank God Im a country boy

Well, my fiddle was my daddys till the day he died

And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side

Said, live a good life and play my fiddle with pride

And thank God youre a country boy

My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle

Taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle

Taught me how to love and how to give just a little

Thank God Im a country boy

(Chorus)

Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle

When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle

Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle

Thank God Im a country boy
