       The interest is up and the stock markets down 
                 C                        G  
       And you only get mugged if you go down town

       I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn 
         G                                 Dm7  
       We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too 
               C                           G

                                       Dm7

       We came from the West Virginia coal mines 
                 C                         G  
       And the Rocky Mountains and the Western Skies 
                                       Dm7  
       And we can skin a buck we can run a trot line

       I had a good friend in New York City 
            C                            G  
       He never called me by my name just HillBilly 
                                 Dm7  
       My GrandPa taught me to live off the land 
             C                        G  
       And his taught him to be a business man 
                                            Dm7  
       He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Night 
             C                   G  
       And I'd send him some homemade wine 
                                           Dm7  
       But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife 
             C                        G  
       For forty three dollars my friend lost his life 
                                           Dm7  
       I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dudes eye 
             C                       G  
       And shoot em' with my ole 45 
                 Dm7           C     G  
       Cause a country boy can survive 
         Dm7             C     G  
       Country folks can survive
