Skeeter Davis - Hillbilly Song lyrics

rate me

(Skeeter Davis)

Do you want to hear a hillbilly song

You can even cry or sing along

The music may seem sad and the words might sound all wrong

But it's me and my hillbilly song.

I was born in old Kentucky I always loved the hills

And I always sang my hillbilly songs

Sometimes folks would laugh at me and sometimes they would cry

Sometimes they clap their hands and sing along.

They say to take my music and go to Tennessee

The Grand Ole Opry that's where I belong

And though I can't believe I'd made it this record then you knew

It's me and my hillbilly song.

Do you want to hear a hillbilly song

You can even cry or sing along

The music may seem sad and the words might sound all wrong

But it's me and my hillbilly song.

--- Instrumental ---

I met a man who loved me oh at least I thought he did

But he just used me for his stepping stone

And when he didn't need me he left me all alone

A singing my hillbilly song.

Now the fiddle's sounding sad and the guitar's playing cool

And the steel is crying like I sometimes do

And if you like this kind of music and it ain't the shame to say

This song is especially for you.

Do you want to hear a hillbilly song

You can even cry or sing along

The music may seem sad and the words might sound all wrong

But it's me and my hillbilly song.

It's just me and my hillbilly song...
