Name: I Be Country Boy
Duration: P00H01M54S
Description: I wrote this on guitar and it seemed just another simple little song. When I tried it on ukulele, I realised it probably should've gone onto a proper album, but hey, it's out there now - and I doubt it cares whether it's on a "proper" album or not.

about

I wrote this on guitar and it seemed just another simple little song. When I tried it on ukulele, I realised it probably should've gone onto a proper album, but hey, it's out there now - and I doubt it cares whether it's on a "proper" album or not.

lyrics

City folk just dont know what they're missing
They might have cinemas and shops
But I spend my days fishing
And drinking everything I got

Coz I be country boy
I be country
Only thing bring me joy
Is knowing I'm a country boy

Picking mushrooms like Grandaddy taught me
We're gonna be eating just fine
Bringing home big bags of blackberries
You know they're going in wine

Chorus

Shooting, hunting, plucking pheasants
And skinning rabbits too
The gentry look on us as peasants
But they're not as free as me and you

Chorus
