Buck Owens

Alvis Edgar Owens, Jr. (August 12, 1929 – March 25, 2006), better known as Buck Owens, was an American singer and guitarist who had 21 No. 1 hits on the Billboard country music charts with his band, the Buckaroos. They pioneered what came to be called the Bakersfield sound—a reference to Bakersfield, California, the city Owens called home and from which he drew inspiration for what he preferred to call American music. more »

Pick a little cotton 
And put it in the wagon 
Make it to the gin and then
Get yourself some money 
And take out your honey 
And do it all over again
Oh, that's a life of a country boy 
He works from sun to sun
He's just a hard workin' country lad 
But he's a happy son of a gun.

He's just a hard workin' country boy 
Out on the farm 
Workin' from dawn to dusk
A pickin' the cotton 
A plowin' the fields 
And doin' the things he must
But on Saturday 
He'll hit for town 
To have himself a little fun
And when he's stumpin' 
On a honky tonk hardwood floor 
He's a happy son of a gun.

Well, a country boy's 
Got a wearied back 
Cause workin' is all he's known
Ain't got much 
Just a blackland farm 
But that blackland farm's his own
He don't have to answer 
To any man 
And worries has enough
And you can tell by lookin' 
This country boy's 
Just a happy son of a gun.

He's just a hard workin' country boy 
Out on the farm 
Workin' from dawn to dusk
A pickin' the cotton 
And plowin' the fields 
And doin' the things he must
But on Saturday 
He'll hit for town 
To have himself a little fun
And when he's stumpin' 
On a honky tonk hardwood floor 
He's a happy son of a gun.

Now, when he's stumpin' 
On a honky tonk hardwood floor 
He's a happy son of a gun
