Now I'm just a simple guy

So doggone high fluting

I believe in fussing when you're mad
G7 C
And scratching when you're itching
I'm a plain old country boy

A corn-bread loving country boy

When the sun comes up on Monday
Where I come from opportunities

We never had much money
D7 G7
But we done the best we could

With Epsom salts and Iodine

Made my diapers out of old feed sacks

My 'spenders out of plow lines

Of a chicken flying south
