Lyrics

Now I'm just a simple guy but there's one thing sure as shootin'
 I hate those folks who think that they're so dad-burned highfalutin
 I'd be the same in Hollywood or right in my own kitchen
 I believe in fussin' when you're mad and scratchin' when you're itchin'
 I'm a plain old country boy, a cornbread lovin' country boy
 I raise cain on Saturday but I go to church on Sunday
 I'm a plain old country boy, a cornbread lovin' country boy
 I'll be lookin' over that old grey mule when the sun comes up on Monday
 Where I come from opportunities, they never were too good
 We never had much money, but we done the best we could
 Ma doctored me from youngin'-hood with Epson salts and Iodine
 Made my diapers out of old feed sacks, my 'spenders out of plow lines
 I'm a plain old country boy, a cornbread lovin' country boy
 I raise cain on Saturday and I go to church on Sunday
 I'm a plain old country boy, a tater eatin' country boy
 I'll be lookin' over that old grey mule when the sun comes up on Monday
 Every time the preacher called, ma always fixed a chicken
 If I'd reach for a drumstick, I was sure to get a lickin'
 She always saved two parts for me, but I had to shut my mouth
 T'was the gizzard and the north end of a chicken flyin' south
 I'm a plain old country boy, a cornbread lovin' country boy
 I raise cain on Saturday but I go to church on Sunday
 I'm a plain old country boy, a tater eatin' country boy
 I'll be lookin' over that old grey mule when the sun comes up on Monday
