Thank God I`m a Country Boy (Live at the Palladium, London, UK - April 1976)

Well, life's on a farm is kinda laid back Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack It's early to rise, early in the sack thank God I'm a country boy Well, a simple kind of life never did me no harm Raising me a family and working on the 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 old fiddle When the sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle And life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle, thank God I'm a country boy Verse 2 When the work's all done and the sun's setting 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 I work when I should, thank God I'm a country boy Chorus Verse 3 I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels I never was one of them money hungry fools I'd rather have my fiddle and my farming tools, thank God I'm a country boy Yeah, city folk driving in a black limousine A lot of sad people thinking that's-a mighty keen Son, let me tell you now exactly what I mean, thank God I'm a country boy Chorus Verse 4 Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side He said, Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride And thank God you're 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
