Verse:
E MajorE
Pick a little cotton, and put it in the wagon

Take it to the gin and then
B7B7
Get yourself some money, and take out your honey
  B7B7       E MajorE
And do it all over again
  E MajorE
Oh, that's a life of a country boy
  E MajorE         A augmentedA
He works from sun to sun
A augmentedA            E MajorE
He's just a hard workin' country lad
      B7B7       E MajorE
But he's a happy son of a gun.

Chorus:
      E MajorE
He's just a hard workin' country boy out on the farm
E MajorE          B7B7
Workin' from dawn to dusk
 B7B7
A augmentedA pickin' the cotton, A augmentedA plowin' the fields
  B7B7         E MajorE
And doin' the things he must
    E MajorE
But on Saturday he'll head for town
  E MajorE           A augmentedA
To have himself a little fun
       A augmentedA            E MajorE
And when he's stompin' on a honky tonk hardwood floor
    B7B7       E MajorE
He's a happy son of a gun.

Verse:
      E MajorE
Well, a country boy's got a wearied back
E MajorE             B7B7
Cause workin' is all he's known
  B7B7
He ain't got much just a blackland farm
     B7B7          E MajorE
But that blackland farm's his own
  E MajorE
He don't have to answer to any man
 E MajorE        A augmentedA
And worries has he none
       A augmentedA          E MajorE
And you can tell by lookin' this country boy's
    B7B7       E MajorE
Just a happy son of a gun.

Chorus:
      E MajorE
He's just a hard workin' country boy out on the farm

Workin' from dawn to dusk
B7B7
A augmentedA pickin' the cotton, A augmentedA plowin' the fields
  B7B7       E MajorE
And doin' the things he must
    E MajorE
But on Saturday he'll head for town
  E MajorE           A augmentedA
To have himself a little fun
       A augmentedA            E MajorE
And when he's stompin' on a honky tonk hardwood floor
    B7B7       E MajorE
He's a happy son of a gun.

He's a happy son of a gun
