Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain't much an old country girl like me can't hack
It's early to rise, early in the sack
Thank God I'm a Country Girl
Well, a simple kinda life never did me no harm
Raisin' me a family and a-workin' on the farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a Country Girl
Well, I try to make a fine wife, I got me own fiddle
The sun's comin' up, I got cakes on the griddle
And life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a Country Girl
When the work's all done and the sun's sinkin' low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow
The kids are all asleep so I keep it kinda low
Thank God I'm a Country Girl
Well, I'd play Sally Goodin' all day if I could
But the Lord and my man wouldn't take it very good
So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should
Thank God I'm a Country Girl
Well, I try to make a fine wife, I got me own fiddle
The sun's comin' up, I got cakes on the griddle
And life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a Country Girl
Well, I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
I'd rather have my fiddle and my farm and tools
Thank God I'm a Country Girl
Yeah, city folk are drivin' in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a mighty keen
Well, folks let me tell ya know exactly what I mean
Thank God I'm a Country Girl
Well, I try to make a fine wife, I got me own fiddle
The sun's comin' up, I got cakes on the griddle
And life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a Country Girl
Well, my fiddle was my daddy's 'til the day he died
He took me by the hand, held me close to his side
He said live a good life, play my fiddle with pride
Thank God you're a Country Girl
Well, my daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
He taught me how to love and to give just a little
Thank God I'm a Country Girl
Well, I try to make a fine wife, I got me own fiddle
The sun's comin' up, I got cakes on the griddle
And life ain't nothin' but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a Country Girl
