[Chorus] I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin’ for the rain Drink corn whiskey, raise a little Сain You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly.
City folks got worries, A country boy’s got none All I wanna be is the daddy of a farmer’s son Subdivisions are silly, I wanna be a hillbilly.
[Chorus] I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin’ for the rain Drink corn whiskey, raise a little Cain You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly.
When I get finished plowin’ I’m gonna go to the pond And take my sweet baby And have some good clean fun You gotta work, that’s a pity I’m gonna be a hillbilly.
[Chorus] I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin’ for the rain Drink corn whiskey, raise a little Cain You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly.
When I die, throw me a big fine wake And have a party in the barn Let me lie in state Plant me under that oak tree I wanna be a hillbilly
[Chorus] I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin’ for the rain Drink corn whiskey, raise a little Cain You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly.
