NieuwtjesThank god I'm a country-boy
Tekst en muziek: John Denver
Well life on a farm is kind-a laid back
Ain't much an old country-boy like me can't hack
It's early to rise and early in the sack
Thank God, I'm a country-boy
A simple kind-a life never did me no harm
Raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
My days are filled with an easy country-charm
Thank God, I'm a country-boy
Refrein
Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I get cakes on the griddle
And life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God, I'm a country-boy
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
But the kids are asleep so I keep it kind-a low
Thank God, I'm a country-boy
I'd play Sally Goodin all day if I could
But the Lord and 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
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 farmin' tools
Thank God, I'm a country-boy
Yeah city folk drivin' in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's mighty keen
Folks let me tell you exactly what I mean
I thank God I'm a country-boy
My fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died
He took me by the hand held me close to his side
Said live a good life play my fiddle with pride
And thank God I'm a country-boy
My daddy thought 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
