| Well, you work all day while you're wantin' to play |

| You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm |
| While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook |
| And of everything's gonna turn out right |

| Country | boy, I wish I was | you, and you were | me. |
| Country boy, got work to do |
| Country boy, in the morning dew |
| You gotta cut the weeds, you gotta plant the seed |
| There's many a row you know you gotta hoe |
| But when it's quittin' time, and your work is through |
| There's a lot of life in you. |
| Country boy, got a shaggy dog |
| Country boy, up a holler log |
| Well, he comes in a run, when you pick up your gun |
| And with a shell or two, and your dog and you |
| When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide |
| He's gonna be good fried. |
| Country boy, you got lots to lose |
| Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes. |
