Now, I'm just a simple guy
But there's one thing sure as shootin'
I hate those folks that think that they're
So doggone high fa lutin
I'd be the same in Hollywood
Or right in my own kitchen
I believe in fussin' when you're mad
And scratchin' when you're itchin'.
CHORUS
I'm a plain, old country boy
A corn-bread lovin' country boy
I raise cain on Saturday
But I go to church on Sunday
I'm a plain, old country boy
A tater eating country boy
I'll be lookin' over that old grey mule
When the sun comes up on Monday.
Where I come from, opportunities, they never were too good
We never had much money, but we done the best we could
Ma doctored me from youngin-hood, with Epson salts and Iodine
Made my diapers out of old feed sacks, my 'spenders out of plow lines.
CHORUS
Every time the preacher called, Ma always fixed a chicken
If I'd reach for a drumstick, I was sure to get a lickin'
She always saved two parts for me, But I had to shut my mouth
T'was the gizzard and the North end of a chicken flyin' South.
CHORUS
James Cecil Dickens, conosciuto professionalmente come Little Jimmy Dickens, è stato un celebre cantante e musicista country statunitense. Nato nel 1920 in Tennessee, ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale all'età di soli 16 anni, esibendosi nei locali del suo stato natale. La sua voce roca e il suo stile energico hanno conquistato rapidamente l'attenzione del pubblico, portandolo a firmare un contratto con la prestigiosa casa discografica Columbia Records nel 1948. Dickens ha raggiunto la fama nazionale negli anni '50 con successi come "Take an Old Cold Tater (And Wait)" e "A Hundred Years from Now". Il suo stile musicale, caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili e testi che raccontavano storie di vita quotidiana, lo ha reso un idolo del pubblico country. Dickens è stato anche un abile chitarrista e compositore, scrivendo numerose canzoni per se stesso e per altri artisti. Ha collaborato con alcuni dei più grandi nomi della musica country, tra cui Hank Williams e Johnny Cash. Ha continuato a registrare e esibirsi fino alla fine degli anni '90, lasciando un'eredità duratura nella storia della musica country americana.
