1. Lookin' at a frog eatin' up my fishbait,
 C F
 sittin' on the bank of the riverside,
 Dm G
 took a little drink from a jug of moonshine,
 C  C7
 didn't have a chaser and almost died.
 F G
 Thinkin' 'bout workin' on Monday mornin',
 C F
 never can wait till quittin' time,
  Dm G
 just to get down to the water
 F C
 and to wet my fishin' line.
 
    G    C
Well, I'm countryfied, I like my chicken fried,
  F G C
I like to walk barefooted through the countryside.
 G C
Well, I'm country folk I like to roll my smokes,
 F  G C
I love to hear a fiddle playin' "Cotton Eyed Joe" !

2. Never been much on conversation,
 C F
 and say I'm hell when I get tight,
 Dm G
 love to get out my old coondog
 C C7
 and shine up a few at night.
 F G
 Like to sit around my campfire
 C F
 and hear old Blue at work,
 Dm G
 a-runnin' them cagey critters
 F C
 while everything is work.
 
+ CHORUS + C - D ~~
 
  G A
3. I like to sit down with my woman,
 D G
 watch TV after suppertime,
 Em A
 snuggle real close together,
 D  D7
 'cause she knows how to ease my mind.
 G A
 Talk about days when we were younger,
 D G
 think about days when we get old,
  Em A
 like the lazy days of summer,
 G D
 we like to watch the fallin' snow.
 
   A   D
Well, I'm countryfied, I like my chicken fried,
 G A D
I like to walk barefooted through the countryside.
 A D
Well, I'm country folk I like to roll my smokes,
  G A D
I love to hear a fiddle playin' "Cotton Eyed Joe" !
