A raisin me a family and workin on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm

Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle

The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low

Taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
