Looking at a frog eating up my fishbait
Sitting on the bank of a riverside
Took a little drink from my jug of moonshine
Didn't have a chaser and almost died

Thinking about working on Monday morning
Never can wait till quitting time
Just to get down to the water
And to wet my fishing line

Well I'm countryfied, I like my chicken fried
I like to walk barefooted though the countryside
Well, I'm country folk, I like to roll my smokes
I love to hear a fiddle playin' Cotton-Eyed Joe

Never been much on conversation, they say I'm hell when I get tight
I love to get out my ol' coondog and shine up a few at night
I like to sit around the campfire and hear ol' Blue at work
Running them Cajun critters for everything he's worth

Well I'm countryfied, I like my chicken fried
I like to walk barefooted though the countryside
Well, I'm country folk, I like to roll my smokes
I love to hear a fiddle playin' Cotton-Eyed Joe

Well I like to sit down with my woman, watch TV after suppertime
Snuggle real close together, 'cause she knows how to ease my mind
Talk about days when we were younger and think about the days when we get old
Like the lazy days of summer, we like to watch the fog and snow

Well I'm countryfied, I like my chicken fried
I like to walk barefooted though the countryside
Well, I'm country folk, I like to roll my smokes
I love to hear a fiddle playin' Cotton-Eyed Joe
