Una canzone molto hobbit a suo modo...

Thank God I'm a country boy

Well, life on the farm is kinda laid back 

Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack 

It's early to rise, early in the sack 

Thank God, I'm A Country Boy 

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 boy 

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 boy 

I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could 

But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good 

So I fiddle when I can, work when I should 

Thank God, I'm a country boy 

Well, I got me a fine wife, 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 boy 

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 boy 

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 boy 

Well, I got me a fine wife, 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 boy 

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 boy" 

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 boy 

Well, I got me a fine wife, 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 boy
