This is the first (and last) song I have written. LOL

It is sang to the tune of John Denver’s Thank God I’m a Country Boy.
——-

Well, Life on the farm is never laid back
Not much more that we can hack,
It’s early to rise, late in the sack
Thank God I’m a country girl

Well, mud on my face never did me no harm
M ‘days are all filled with cleaning up the barn
The goat is in labor and ‘da kids will be a charm
Thank God I’m a country girl

(Chorus)
Well, I got me pitch fork and I got me ole barrow
When the sun’s comin’ up I’m in the garden with a harrow
Life ain’t nothin’ to an itty bitty sparrow
Thank God I’m a country girl

When the works not done but the sun is settin’ low
I pull out my coffee and I drink it while I hoe
I rake and I scoop even in the snow
Thank God I’m a country girl

I’d play Amazing Grace all day if I could
But the Lord knows I love Him and that is good
So I harrow when I can and shovel when I should
Thank God I’m a country girl

(Chorus)
Well, I got me pitch fork and I got me ole barrow
When the sun’s comin’ up I’m in the garden with a harrow
Life ain’t nothin’ to an itty bitty sparrow
Thank God I’m a country girl

I wouldn’t trade my life for a condo in the city
Being cooped up like that is such a big pity
So I’ll keep me ole farm ‘cus it keeps me so giddy
Thank God I’m a country girl

Yeah, city folk drivin’ a shiny limousine
A lotta folks thinkin’ that that is super keen
But let me tell ya now that’s not my dream
Thank God I’m a country girl

(Chorus)
Well, I got me pitch fork and I got me ole barrow
When the sun’s comin’ up I’m in the garden with a harrow
Life ain’t nothin’ to an itty bitty sparrow
Thank God I’m a country girl

Well, my muscles may be aching when I go inside
But my food is all organic with no pesticides
The cupboards are all full and there’s bacon on the side
Thank God I’m a country girl

So I’ll raise me pigs n chickens ‘till the Lord lets me rest
And plow the black dirt to reap in the best
I’ll work in the morning and give thanks at sunset
Thank God I’m a country girl

(Chorus)
Well, I got me pitch fork and I got me ole barrow
When the sun’s comin’ up I’m in the garden with a harrow
Life ain’t nothin’ to an itty bitty sparrow
Thank God I’m a country girl.
