I got a crib full of corn and a turning plow
But the ground´s too wet for the hopper now
Got a cultivator and a double tree
A leather line for the haw and
Let the thunder roll and the lighting flash

I´m doing alright for country trash

I´m saving up dimes for a rainy day
I got about a dollar laid away
The wind´s from the south and the fishing´s good
Got a potbelly stove a cord of wood
Mama turns the left-overs into hash
I´m doing alright for country trash

I got a mackinaw wand a hunting dog
A cap I ordered from the catalog
A big tall tree that shades the yard
A big fat sow for the winter´s lard
Let the thunder roll and the lighting flash
I´m doing alright for country trash

Well there´s not much new ground left to plow
And crops need fertilizing now

My hands don´t earn me too much gold
For security when I grow old
But we´ll all be equal under the grass
And God´s got a heaven for country trash[x2]
I´ll be doing alright for country trash
