Thank God I'm a Country Boy

John Martin Sommers

Lyrics Translation

Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
It's early to rise, early in the sack
I thank God I'm a country boy

Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A raisin' me a family and workin' on the farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife I got me ol' fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
And life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

When the work's all done and the sun's settlin' low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
Thank God I'm a country boy

I'd play Sally Goodin all day if I could
But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good
So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should
Thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife I got me ol' fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy, woo

Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools
Thank God I'm a country boy

Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a mighty keen
Well, son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
I thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife I got me ol' fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
And life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy

Well, my fiddle was my daddy's 'til the day he died
And he took me by the hand, held me close to his side
Said, "live a good life, play my fiddle with pride
And thank God you're a country boy"

Well, my daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
Taught me how to work to play a tune on the fiddle
He taught me how to love and how to give just a little
And thank God I'm a country boy

Well I got me a fine wife I got me ol' fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
Woo, thank God I'm a country boy, yes

Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
Bem, a vida na fazenda é meio tranquila
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
Não há muito que um velho caipira como eu não possa lidar
It's early to rise, early in the sack
É cedo para levantar, cedo para dormir
I thank God I'm a country boy
Agradeço a Deus por ser um caipira
Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
Bem, um tipo de vida simples nunca me fez mal
A raisin' me a family and workin' on the farm
Criando minha família e trabalhando na fazenda
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Meus dias são todos preenchidos com um charme campestre fácil
Thank God I'm a country boy
Agradeço a Deus por ser um caipira
Well I got me a fine wife I got me ol' fiddle
Bem, eu tenho uma boa esposa, eu tenho meu velho violino
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Quando o sol está nascendo, eu tenho bolos na chapa
And life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
E a vida não é nada além de um enigma engraçado
Thank God I'm a country boy
Agradeço a Deus por ser um caipira
When the work's all done and the sun's settlin' low
Quando o trabalho está todo feito e o sol está se pondo
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow
Eu pego meu violino e passo a resina no arco
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
As crianças estão dormindo, então eu mantenho meio baixo
Thank God I'm a country boy
Agradeço a Deus por ser um caipira
I'd play Sally Goodin all day if I could
Eu tocaria Sally Goodin o dia todo se pudesse
But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good
Mas o Senhor e minha esposa não aceitariam muito bem
So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should
Então eu toco violino quando posso e trabalho quando devo
Thank God I'm a country boy
Agradeço a Deus por ser um caipira
Well I got me a fine wife I got me ol' fiddle
Bem, eu tenho uma boa esposa, eu tenho meu velho violino

Thank God I'm a country boy, woo
Agradeço a Deus por ser um caipira, woo
Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
Bem, eu não trocaria minha vida por diamantes ou joias

I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools
Eu prefiro ter meu violino e minhas ferramentas de fazenda
Thank God I'm a country boy
Agradeço a Deus por ser um caipira
Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine
Sim, gente da cidade dirigindo em uma limusine preta
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a mighty keen
Muitas pessoas tristes pensando que isso é muito legal
Well, son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
Bem, filho, deixe-me te dizer agora exatamente o que eu quero dizer

Well, son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
Nah, nak, biar saya katakan sekarang persis apa yang saya maksud
I thank God I'm a country boy
Saya bersyukur saya adalah anak desa
Well I got me a fine wife I got me ol' fiddle
Nah, saya punya istri yang baik, saya punya biola tua

And life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
Dan hidup tidak lebih dari sekedar teka-teki yang lucu
Thank God I'm a country boy
Bersyukur saya adalah anak desa
Well, my fiddle was my daddy's 'til the day he died
Nah, biola saya adalah milik ayah saya sampai dia meninggal
And he took me by the hand, held me close to his side

Said, "live a good life, play my fiddle with pride
Dia berkata, "jalani hidup yang baik, mainkan biolaku dengan bangga
And thank God you're a country boy"
Dan bersyukurlah kamu adalah anak desa"
Well, my daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
Nah, ayah saya mengajari saya muda bagaimana berburu dan bagaimana mengukir
Taught me how to work to play a tune on the fiddle
Mengajari saya bagaimana bekerja untuk memainkan melodi di biola
