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

A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country girl


When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow

The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
Thank God I'm a country girl


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, work when I should

Thank God, I'm a country girl

Well, I got me a fine man, I got me old fiddle

When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
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 farmin' tools
Thank God I'm a country girl


Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a mighty keen
Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean

I thank God I'm a country girl

Well, I got me a fine man, I got me old fiddle

When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
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
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side

He said...'Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
And thank God you're a country girl


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
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little

Thank God I'm a country girl

Well, I got me a fine man, I got me old fiddle

When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country girl
