D 
Pick a little cotton,
put it in the wagon,
A 
take it to the gin and then
Get yourself some money
and take out your honey
D 
and do it all over again
That's the life of a country boy,
G 
he works from sun to sun
Em 
D 
He's just a hard -workin' country lad,
A 
D 
A 
D 
but he's a happy son of a gun
He's just a hard -workin' country boy
out on the farm,
A 
workin' from dawn to dusk
A -pickin' the cotton,
a -plowin' the fields,
D 
and doin' the things he must
But on Saturday, he'll head for town
G 
to have himself a little fun
And when he's stomping on the
D 
honky -tonk hardwood floor,
A 
D 
Dm 
he's a happy son of a gun

D 
Well, country boy's got a weary back
A 
Cause workin' is all he's known
He ain't got much, just a black -land farm
D 
But that black -land farm's his own
He don't have to answer to any man
G 
And word is, has he none?
And you can tell by lookin'
Em 
D 
this country boy's
A 
D 
Just a happy son of a gun
He's just a hard -workin' country boy
out on the farm
A 
Workin' from dawn to dusk
Pickin' the cotton and
plowin' the fields
D 
Doin' the things he must
But on Saturday he'll head for town
G 
To have himself a little fun
And when he's stompin' on the
D 
honky -tonk hardwood floor
A 
D 
He's a happy son of a gun
G 
Now when he's stomping on the
D 
honky -tonk hardwood floor,
A 
D 
he's the happiest son of a gun
