He taught me to be dignified
When he took his strap to me
he turned me down and crossed his knees
Oh, it sure hurt my dignity
I got my education out behind the barn
I ain't pullin' no charrette
And it almost made a wreck
I smoked my first cigarette
Now that's the day I won't forget
I got sick, you shoulda seen
How that tobacco turned me green
I was just trying to learn
I got my education out behind the barn.
I ain't fooling no serene.
And it almost made a wreck out of me.
I met a pretty girl one day
and play out behind the barn.
She taught me to kiss and pet.
That's a game I won't forget.
Bobby, did you know they'd
right there behind the barn?
I got my education out behind the barn.
I ain't foolin' no siree.
and it almost made a wreck out of me.
I sure would like to go again
And do some things that I did
You might think it ain't no fun
to be a poor old farmer's son
Hey Roy, you know good and well
out there behind the barn
I got my education out behind the barn
I ain't pullin' no syringe
And it almost made a wreck out of me
And it almost made a wreck out of me
