Merle Haggard - I'm A White Boy Lyrics






Some folks call me a ramblin' man
I do a lotta thumbin' and a kickin' cans
And it wouldn't do an ounce of good to call my name
'Cause daddy's name wasn't Willy Woodrow
And I wasn't born and raised in no ghetto
Just a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing

Well, I'm out to find me a wealthy woman
And a line of work that don't take no diploma
I ain't got much to lose but a lot to gain
Well, some might call me a goodtime fella
I ain't black and I ain't yella
Just a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing

Yeah, I don't want no handout livin'
Don't want any part of anything they're givin'
I'm proud and white and I've got a song to sing
Well, I've said a few things and I'll admit it
If you wanna get ahead you gotta hump and get it
I'm a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing
Hump and get it now

Yeah, I'm a small town boy been around a little
I like guitars and I like a fiddle
And that's the kinda soul it takes to fan my flame
Well, I'm a blue eyed billy kinda frail and ruddy
So I'll have to work to be somebody
I'm a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing

I don't want no handout livin'
And don't want any part of anything they're givin'
I'm proud and white and I've got a song to sing
Well, I've said a few things and I'll admit it
If you wanna get ahead you gotta hump and get it
I'm a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing
I'm a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing

  16. S.... ....

    What ever you are be the best version of you.

  17. J.... M....

    Why would you be “proud” of something you had nothing to do with?

  18. m.... ....

    i am indifferent about being white and also the floor in here is covered in empty monster energy cans + chewing tobacco spit

  19. J.... L....

    Its OK to be white.

    When I'm cold im blue when hot I'm red I'm horny in pink and i get Green With Envy I turned pale at the thought and scared white as ghost. I get dark when I'm evil. It seems to me the white man is the presence of all colour such as myself

  27. B.... S....

    Ok... here's the scoop: Nobody, no, not even one, has any say over what race one happens to born into. We are what we are...just the way the Good Lord made us, so we may as well accept that which we cannot choose, nor change!
    Someone ought to write a song bout that...😉. Just sayin.

  28. S.... M....

    White American Male

  36. D.... G....

    None of us gets to choose our parents or our race we are and no one no matter your race should be made to feel that you should be ashamed of your race.

  37. I.... L....

    I’m white and about 20% Mexican, I have plenty of black friends, white friends, asain, and Latino friends, but guess what... who gives a fuck
    Let’s all just vibe 🤙🏽🤓

  38. L.... b....

    Good memories.

  39. D.... l....

    I'm half Arab and White so don't at me because I am proud to be white and not a racist.

  40. N.... B....

    God bless all people of all colors.God made flowers in many colors.he also made people of many colors.we should all love one another, so God can be proud of all his creation.love one another

    no volume how damn funny

  42. R.... S....

    allwhite

  43. R.... S....

    Getting whiter every repeat play

  44. C.... W....

    Merle Haggard once had a African American girlfriend in his childhood. He was no racist to say the least.. Check out his song Irma Jackson. It was released during a very controversial time in his career, but released. He was saddened by the idea that inter racial relationships were taboo during a portion of his life.

  45. p.... m....

    I love white people :)

  46. N.... N....

    Having pride in white heritage is frowned upon because it's like waving a giant winners trophy in non-whites face.

  47. C.... C....

    White here

  48. A.... M....

    Hell yeah! Take that Lefties.

    A.... M....

    Merle was a lefty! And advocated for Marijuana legalization, hated the IRS and govt, had a black girlfriend hence the song Irma Jackson.. He and Willie are country hippies!

    A.... M....

    @Christopher Williams there was no such thing as the left back them

  49. C.... B....

    10 million views. That tells me that Whites are fed up with being blamed for everything and demonized everywhere you turn. White people have ethnic interests just like every other group on the planet and I'm glad to see Whites finally stop being ashamed of being White. It's ok to be White.

  50. m.... s....

    Good on Merle thumbs up brother

  51. m.... s....

    Poc always beatin on whites
    F that ,America need a white space where people can go and be with their ain folk and be left alone , many white see the hypocrisy and they want no more to do with poc because it only bring bad times , I cant blame them , problems of the world always being blamed on white people, so bad even other whites do it wtf is that.

  52. S.... S....

    2020 : IS IT OKAY TO BE WHITE ?

    S.... S....

    Sysiphus Syziggy unfortunately no. Especially white male

    S.... S....

    It's okay to be white!

  53. P.... 1....

    It’s OK to be white! Tell me any different and I’ll call you a worthless traitor Democrat commie,,, who more than likely also happens to be white...

  54. K.... J....

    Back when being white was not a crime!!

  55. g.... c....

    I’m not white :;: I’m Irish !

  56. R.... B....

    Hell yeah

  57. l.... b....

    nothing wrong with being white

  58. r.... 1....

    I don’t like country. Why was this recommended to me?

    r.... 1....

    Cause ur racist... jk. You'll get into country, takes time

  59. D.... V....

    I am a white hispanic, I go by both labels because I am proud of both.

  60. L.... ....

    crazy fun fact, at thee height of american slavery less than 1% of whites owned slaves, with some such as irish and italians having basically no one owning slaves. It was only a tiny proportion and specific ethnicities that actually owned slaves in large numbers.

  61. S.... ....

    The world needs Merle Haggard now more than ever. Thankfully he left a huge footprint. RIP

  62. M.... ....

    We have a hard frightening road ahead of us. We has a people must reject the brain washing and proudly support our White communities if we wish to survive.

  63. M.... ....

    There is no way you could say this in Europe now, even our flag The Union Jack is deemed as being racist or right wing, which is not allowed.

  64. J.... T....

    No apologies given or needed, I am just a white boy looking for a place to do my thing, R I P Merle

  65. P.... m....

    I’m Hispanic & I’ve always said to be proud of who you are no matter what race you are!

  70. C.... B....

    WHITE PRIDE - WORLD WIDE⚒
    DISCLAIMER: Anti-white leftists & racists...remember that there are bumper stickers and apparel that say “brown pride” and “black power” fists, so go F yourself and your double standard🖕)

  78. C.... ....

  79. T.... _....

  82. H.... M....

    Proud to be germanic👌

  83. J.... J....

    i’m all for being proud of who you are but It’s depressing how divided we all are.. I don’t want to be hated by how I look, I’d never hate someone without knowing them. I feel like all this pride just makes us hate blindly, depressing, really is..

  84. h.... d....

    Your dont look too white im half white and im whiter than you your like a dirty white we are from germany we are pure white

  85. n.... ....

    It's not about being against anyone else. It's about being for yours and proud of yours !!
    Thank you brother. We miss you Merle, God bless.

  86. S.... M....

    Sounds like a whiny little bitch.

    S.... M....

    You sounds like a butthurt sissy boy.

  87. h.... ....

    James Brown made I'm Black and I'm proud which is basically the same thing. You can't be offended when you don't have a racial ear. This is my first time hearing this and it's 2019.
    This is no different than The Jefferson's, All in the Family or Sanford and Son or Blazing Saddles. Fun times when offensive wasn't being offensive, just honest.

  88. d.... d....

    Yes I am ...

  89. A.... B....

    I love this song and not once does he say anything negative or racial he just proud of who he is...

  90. a.... m....

    lhell yea I am White boy! the true racist are black and jews! do not care what you think! I am White and proud and if you are White and afraid well trash belongs in the trash can screw White liberal women talk about trash!

  91. j.... b....

    The blacks are so racists that they have made it to where white folks cant be prideful of being white.they turn everything around to make it look like white are the problem but in reality they are racists to the extreme.im sick of it.its got to stop.

  92. S.... B....

    🎶🎶🎶🎶 I'm just a Black girl lookin for a place to do my thing🎶🎶

  93. I.... S....

    1.3k white guilt liberald do not approve of this song.

  94. D.... G....

    Uhm. Yeah, this is not cool to me. Sorry. It would be fine if he ONLY spoke about being white but he actively talks negatively about being another ethnicity

  95. H.... P....

    yeah big-time the libs would have crime scene on this song but it's just an honest song

  96. P.... B....

    Oh cmon. That's a terrible song. There's a number of songs he regretted recording, but you gotta pay the rent. I have no doubt this is one of them. It's shit.

  97. E.... F....

    0:40-0:48😎

  98. D.... G....

    WHITE BOY LOOKIN FOR A PLACE TO DO MY THANG!!!

  99. T.... R....

    Fun to see people totally missing the point of songs of Merle’s decades after they were recorded.
