I'm a country man, I was country ever since I come to town
I'm a country man, I was country when I come to town
You know I can look at a milk cow, and I'll tell you how much her butter will come a pound

I'm just green as a pool table, you know I'm twice as square
Green as a pool table, and you know I'm twice as square
I may be a educated fool, but that's something I don't have

I'm a country man, just as country as I can be
I'm a country man, just as country as I can be
You may get me out of the country people but you, never will get the country out of me

I'm green as a pool table, people you know I'm twice as square
Green as a pool table, people you know I'm twice as square
I wanna be a educated fool, but it's something I don't have

I'm a country man, I was country when I come to town
I'm a country man, I was country when I come to town
You know I can look at a milk cow, tell you how much her butter will come a pound

Just a country man, baby, you know I ain't shamed
I'm a country man, baby, you know I ain't shamed
That's why I'm crazy 'bout my guitar, that's why I surely will keep on playing
