Now I'm a just a country girl That's one thing sure as shooting I hate those folks that think That they're so dagburn high fluting
Now I'd be the same in Hollywood Or right in my own kitchen Huh, I believe in fussing when you're mad And a scratching when you're a itching
ref: I'm a plain, old country girl A cornbread-loving country girl I raise Cain on Saturday But I go to church on Sunday I'm a plain old country girl A cornbread-loving country girl I'll be a looking over the old, gray mule When the sun comes up on Monday
Every time the preacher called Maw always fixed a chicken Now if I reach for that drumstick I was just sure to get a licking
She always saved 2 parts for me But I had to shut my mouth It t'was the gizzard and the north end Of a chicken a flying south
In school my teachers used to claim That I was awful lazy But I always believed that too much learning Just drives you crazy
It hurts my brain to try to solve A problem that's a twister If ignorance is bliss Then I'm the nation's biggest blister

Now when I've peeled my last, old tater And I've laid me down to die And gone to the land of milk and honey Far beyond the sky
In that far land with streets of gold And clothing which is silken You'll find me a flying around the barn Just a helping with the milking
