i wanna be a hillbilly

i wanna be a hillbilly

prayin' for the rain

drink corn whiskey

raise a little cane

you can have the big city

i wanna be a hillbilly. city folks got worries

a country boy's got none

all i wanna be is the daddy of a farmer's son

subdivisions are silly

i wanna be a hillbilly. i wanna be a hillbilly

prayin' for the rain

drink corn whiskey

raise a little cane

you can have the big city

i wanna be a hillbilly. when i get finished plowin'

i'm gonna go to the pond

and take my sweet baby

and have some good clean fun

you gotta work

that's a pity

i'm gonna be a hillbilly. i wanna be a hillbilly

prayin' for the rain

drink corn whiskey

raise a little cane

you can have the big city

i wanna be a hillbilly. when i die

throw me a big fine wake

and have a party in the barn

let me lie in state

plant me under that oak tree

i wanna be a hillbilly

i wanna be a hillbilly

prayin' for the rain

drink corn whiskey

raise a little cane

you can have the big city

i wanna be a hillbilly. subdivisions are silly

i wanna be a hillbilly.
