Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle

And thank God youre a country boy

Bb
My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
F
Taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
Bb Eb
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
F Bb
Thank God Im a country boy

(Chorus)

F Bb
Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
F Bb
When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
Eb
Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle
F Bb
Thank God Im a country boy
