[Chorus]

I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin' for the rain

Drink corn whiskey, raise a little cane

You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly.

City folks got worries,

A country boy's got none

All I wanna be is the daddy of a farmer's son

Subdivisions are silly, I wanna be a hillbilly.

[Chorus]

I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin' for the rain

Drink corn whiskey, raise a little cane

You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly.

When I get finished plowin'

I'm gonna go to the pond

And take my sweet baby

And have some good clean fun

You gotta work, that's a pity

I'm gonna be a hillbilly.

[Chorus]

I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin' for the rain

Drink corn whiskey, raise a little cane

You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly.

When I die, throw me a big fine wake

And have a party in the barn

Let me lie in state

Plant me under that oak tree

I wanna be a hillbilly.

[Chorus]

I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin' for the rain

Drink corn whiskey, raise a little cane

You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly.

Subdivisions are silly

I wanna be a hillbilly..
