Ab Bb Eb
[Verse 1]
Eb
A lot of folks have told me
Ab Eb
I was pulled 'fore I got ripe
Eb Bb
A winter apple picked off in the fall
Eb
But even as a youngen'
Ab Eb
I was not the bashful type
Eb Bb Eb
'Cause I could yell the loudest of them all
[Chorus]
Ab
I'm little but I'm loud
Eb
I'm poor but I'm proud
Ab Bb
I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it
Ab
I'm like a banty rooster
Eb
In a big red rooster crowd
Ab Bb
I'm puny, short and little but I'm loud
[Verse 2]
Eb
I learned to do my singing
Ab Eb
Walking 'long behind a plow
Eb Bb
The singing teachers always passed me by
Eb
And so I have to sing
Ab Eb
The only way that I know how
Eb Bb Eb
Just rare back, open up and let her fly
[Chorus]
Ab
I'm little but I'm loud
Eb
I'm poor but I'm proud
Ab Bb
I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it
Ab
I'm like a banty rooster
Eb
In a big red rooster crowd
Ab Bb
I'm puny, short and little but I'm loud
[Verse 3]
Eb
I sang a special solo song
Ab Eb
In church one Sunday morn
Eb Bb
And I was plumb embarrassed to my skin
Eb
I hit a high note, looked around
Ab Eb
And sure as I was born
Eb Bb Eb
Two cows and fourteen hogs came walking in
[Chorus]
Ab
I'm little but I'm loud
Eb
I'm poor but I'm proud
Ab Bb
I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it
Ab
I'm like a banty rooster
Eb
In a big red rooster crowd
Ab Bb
I'm puny, short and little but I'm loud
