If the Good Lord Is Willing - Johnny Cash

Country boy, ain’t got no shoes

Country boy, ain’t got no blues

Well, you work all day

While you’re wanting to play

In the sun and the sand

With a face that’s tan

But at the end of the day

When your work is done

You ain’t got nothing but fun

Country boy, ain’t got no ills

Country boy, don’t owe no bills

You get a wiggly worm

And then you watch him squirm

While you put him on a hook

And you drop him in a brook

And if everything’s gonna turn out right

You’re gonna fry fish tonight

Country boy, you’re lucky free

Country boy, I wish I was you, and you was me

Country boy, got work to do

Country boy, in the morning dew

You got to cut the weeds

You got to plant the seeds

There’s many a row

You know you gotta hoe

But when it’s quittin' time

And your work is through

There’s a lot of life in you

Country boy, you got a shaggy dog

Country boy, up a holler log

Well, he comes in a run

When you pick up your gun

And with a shell or two

And your dog and you

When you get your rabbit

You’ll skin his hide

He’s gonna be good fried

Country boy, got a lot to lose

Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes
