Johnny Cash - Country Boy Lyrics
Country boy, ain't got no shoes.
Country boy, ain't got no blues.
Well, you work all day
While you're wantin' to play
In the sun and the sand,
At the end of the day,
When your work is done,
You ain't got nothin' but fun.
Country boy, ain't got no ills.
Country boy, don't owe no bills.
Country boy, ain't got no ills.
Country boy, don't owe no bills.
You get a wiggly worm,
While you put him on a hook,
And you drop him in a brook.
If everything's gonna turn out right,
You're gonna fry fish tonight.
Country boy, got a lot to lose.
Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes.
[Instrumental break]
Country boy, you got a shaggy dog.
Country boy, up a holler log.
Well, he comes in a run,
When you pick up your gun.
And with a shell or two,
And your dog and you,
When you get your rabbit,
You'll skin his hide,
He's gonna be good fried.
Country boy, you got a lot to lose.
Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes.
[Instrumental break]
Country boy, you got work to do.
Country boy, in the morning dew,
You gotta plant the seed,
You gotta cut the weeds.
There's many a row,
You know you gotta hoe
When it's quittin' time,
And your work is through.
There's a lot of life in you
Country boy, you lucky thing.
Country boy, I wish I was you, and you were me.

Johnny Cash Country Boy Comments
Is it normal for a 13 year old to listen to this in 2020
Anyone here in 2020 listening to this
I see a Mike Bloomberg ad spewing his anti second amendment propaganda after watching this Johnny Cash video how shocking.
Can anyone ever put up the correct lyrics.... I know copying and pasting is complex task, but I mean you managed to get the video uploaded correctly. I guess 50% would equal a half assed attempt
O passado, com exceções, salva a música. Johnny Cash é eterno.
I Miss You MISTER Johnny R. CASH
LYRICS ARE WRONG COMEON NOW!!!! xD

Johnny Cash
the lyrics above do not match song. FYI
here you go... I love this song!
Country boy, ain't got no shoes.
Country boy, ain't got no blues.
Well, you work all day
While you're wantin' to play
In the sun and the sand,
With a face that's tan.
At the end of the day,
When your work is done,
You ain't got nothin' but fun!
Country boy, ain't got no ills.
Country boy, don't owe no bills.
You get a wiggly worm,
And then you watch him squirm.
While you put him on a hook,
And you drop him in a brook.
and If everything's gonna turn out right,
You're gonna fry fish tonight!
Country boy, you're lucky free.
Country boy, I wish I was you, and you was me!
[Instrumental break]
Country boy, got work to do.
Country boy, in the morning dew,
You gotta cut the weeds.
You gotta plant the seed,
There's many a row,
You know you gotta hoe but
When it's quittin' time,
And your work is through.
There's a lot of life in you!
Country boy, got a shaggy dog.
Country boy, up a holler log.
Well, he comes in a run,
When you pick up your gun and with a shell or two,
And your dog and you,
When you get your rabbit,
You'll skin his hide,
He's gonna be good fried!
Country boy, you got learn to lose.
Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes!
THE UPLOADER IS RETARDED
this almost sounds get a Rythm but because it's on the same album
How can Johnny wish he was in his shoes if the boy has no shoes?
@Brasilian Rose nah
I love real country music like this. It's true Americana ! Not like the teeny bopper bubble gum pop crap they call country now
I don't even listen to country but you can totally sense why this guy is considered a legend. His music is so raw, rugged, and real. It's authentic as hell. In comparison to the neat, prim and proper country pop that gets churned out today.
Y8R this guy he has a name Johnny cash
Y8R Fuckin pop country what a crying shame.
just like this country we live in. What once got us great and morals we turned 180 back on what’s right is wrong and what’s wrong is right.. some interesting days were living but even more interesting future we have in store..
Ever big empire even Rome all fell for same reason. What once made them great got changed starts with the moral compass fish fist rotts at the head.. stand united help others just do what’s right
Tommy Lander agreed. Some clueless people think of that pop country whiny garbage when we bring up country music to them.
LUTHER!!!!!
buster brown Luther the legend, an innovator.
The nine people that disliked this aren't American
Wrong again 13 ;)
Y'all are stupid. It's 17. Seventeen people aren't American.
actually 18
22 now lol
You’re all wrong it’s 33.
I'm watching a music video that gives me the option to add music.
Oh yeah. It's a good one. There's another version I like a little better though
John LaLone cash is the only way to go.
Wiggly worms bother me I guess I am just a sissy
The Zombieland trailer theme song
There's still 251,585 normal Americans
From Iran, YEAH!

I'm one of em

Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar is the debut album of country singer Johnny Cash, released on October 11, 1957. The album contained four of his hit singles: "I Walk the Line," "Cry! Cry! Cry!," "So Doggone Lonesome," and "Folsom Prison Blues." It was re-issued on July 23, 2002 as an expanded edition, under the label Varese Vintage, containing five bonus tracks, three being alternate versions of tracks already present on the original LP.
This was the first LP ever issued on Sam Phillips' Sun Records label.
Note that on the Varese CD reissue, "Country Boy" is not the original "full band" version from the LP, but rather an acoustic version with just Cash and his guitar which is the demo version. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_His_Hot_and_Blue_Guitar
Country boy, ain't got no shoes, Country boy, ain't got no blues
Well, you work all day while you're waitin' to play
In the sun and the sand, with a face that's tan
But at the end of the day, when your work is done, You ain't got nothin' but fun.
Country boy, ain't got no ills, Country boy, don't owe no bills
You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm
While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook
If everything's gonna turn out right, you're gonna fry fish tonight.
Country boy, you're lucky an' free
Country boy, I wish I was you, and you was me.
Country boy, you got work to do, Country boy, in the morning dew
You gotta plant the seed, you gotta cut the weeds
There's many a row you know you gotta hoe
When it's quittin' time, and your work is through, There's a lot of life in you.
Country boy, you got a shaggy dog, Country boy, up a hollow log
Well, he comes in a run, when you pick up your gun
And with a shell or two, and your dog and you
When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide, He's gonna be good fried.
Country boy, you got a lot to lose
Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes.
Bat Guano thankya
I'm a massive Cash fan and I have no idea what I was talking about, this particular song wasn't in any game to my recollection. I did notice that I wrote the comment in a playlist, the chances are I meant it for a song I'd previously heard and didn't realize it'd already switched to this one. It was 'probably' Ring of Fire or God's Gonna Cut you Down, Hurt, etc... Featured in popular games, like Call of Duty, Battlefield & movies (Hangover, for example).
Which game was it in?
I love Johnny Cash but...Where in Zombieland did they mention Johnny Cash? Just curious but please answer...
he,s not dead ... god just took him to get a auotograph :)
When you get the rabbit, you'll skin his hide, he's gonna be good fried. Ya buddy thats what I'm talking about!
I'm italian and they're in my heart as well!
Hard life...yet so simple and true.
Gotta find the courage to send everything to fuck one day and start living the way a man should be ment to.
its a shame cash is dead. r.i.p. (sniff)
Great song! One of my favorites to cover!!
the remix sucks..the original is the best
I know my name says "gaming" in it but I'm slightly pissed off people are here from a game, and not only a game but an overrated pile of bollocks.
Anyway, I came here for Johnny Cash, you know country, I loved it before I was a gamer and I love it now, RIP Johnny Cash.
id trade any day in this messed up world today,for a day in the life of the country boy johnny cash sings about..
Song was before zombie land and MW3.
5 ppl ain't got no shoes
@shawnman13 MW3?
@Jofiplease bahhhhhhhhlls
this song came on while i was in the field haha made me smile!! gotta love classics
i want to live like a country boy
hell yeah the greatest country singer and my life story
He's gonna be good fried!! How come I never heard this song before? I guess we only had 1 Johnny Cash album in the house while I was growing up.
i like the original and the remix, but hay thats just my opinion :T
nice lyrics lol
4 people must be city boys
@katiecox1996 I take them from lyrics pages, never do a check. Anyway if your audition works so good you don't need em.
those lyrics are fuckin wrong, use your goddamn ears.
@shawnman13 Wait hes going to be in MW3?! THATS FUCKING AWESOME
@CashPresley32 lol well of course so do i but i apreciate jr yours early stuff too lol
But I like Sr. better than Jr.
@CashPresley32 dont forget hank jr
You're right Country like Johnny, Willie, Waylon, Merle, George Jones, Hank Sr, Charley Pride, etc rock and are what Country is really. We also still have some of them left, but we also have traditionalists like Alan Jackson, Randy Travis and Dwight Yoakam to help keep it alive.
ZZ TOP
Johnny Cash is the Best!!!!!!!
@shawnman13 when i heard this in zombieland i had to look it up
i hate how country went from greatness like this to what it is now pop country shit
a big thanks to zombieland. a thanks to woody and jesse (harrleson and eisanberg).
cash aint dead... hes with elvis :3 in the hearts of americans everywhere
@shawnman13
I learned about this song from Zombieland lol
he's a totally different genre of music.
@minihcky dude ur rite, got it from zombieland. and zombieland was an AWESOME movie
you guys are all stupid
your lyrics that are posted = epic fail
I never knew that you didn't know Cash made a song Country boy lol
Cash is the man !
fuck i had no idea what i was missing lol
I live in the city (Near Los Angeles) and I love this song! It's rustic and awesome!
Also reminds me of my little boys. Always a dirty face, running through the yard with socks and no shoes. No matter how many times you tell them shoes, some how they sneak out.
great song, reminds me of growing up in the country, long live Cash
Cash is da man!
Fried rabbit? O_O
Time to nut up or shut up.
RIP Johnny Cash
Augh, Johnny Cash was really incredible. Its a shame he's gone
u are right man johnny and older music are the best
you like danzig? and yer dissin Cash. Mother, ha!

The remix killed this song. The original is much better,
this the song on the zombieland commercial? i wanna see that movie
I see what you guys are saying, I dont think a straight remix but they used the instrumental a bit more
Its the remix version.
I never heard this before the zombieland trailor either. it sounds like it might be a remix though In the commercial
go fuck yourself, you fucking newb bitch. Nice channel by the way. dumbass
I feel ashamed because I got it confused with Elvis until I researched it on the Internet.
you listen to real music yet your on a johnny cash song on you tube posting stuff about the music you like you should probably get a life idk I would
i wish i could "unlike" this more then once. you douche.
RIP Kurt Cobain
Johnnie Cash was the original PIMP!
