I was born a country girl; I will die a country girl My world is made of blue skies and sunshine Green fields and butterflies I'm so glad I'm a country girl Birds sing good morning to a country girl And I sleep to the sounds of whip-o-wills My day is made with puppies and kittens meadows and daisies I'm so glad I'm a country girl Running over hills playing in the woods free breezes blowing Honey bees are swarming, black birds are flying, wonder where they're going Picking stick-me-tights off my gingham dress darkness is falling Firewood to carry eggs to gather and supper?s ready mamma's calling I was born a country girl and I will die a country girl My world is made of blue skies and sunshine Green fields and butterflies I'm so glad I'm a country girl Oh I'm so happy I'm a country girl
