The Band of Brothers: Songs/Lyrics

Living In The Country (lyrics)

(The Band of Brothers)
Michael Scott Smith
Note from Michael: Composed in 2004, I wrote this little number in much the same spirit as 'Living Up On The Hill' and a few others I have written - a cheer for the simple country life! I love the way Alan Fox sings during the chorus! Guaranteed to make ya wanna git up 'n dance.
Let's go down to the well and draw some water

Eat a sandwich made of apple butter

Get mud on our boots in the chicken yard

Living in the country ain't so very hard.

Take your gal and give her a spin - You can't lose, you can only win.

Give her a kiss, ah, give her a wink - Wash them dishes in the kitchen sink. Let's Go!

(Chorus)

Make up a batch of bumbleberry jam - Moonshine liquor in an old tin can

Kick that can right over the barn - Listen to your neighbor tell another yarn. Let's Go!

(Chorus)

Mend a fence, work real hard - Pay attention to your own back yardYou got a song you wanna sing? Sing it loud - let it ring. Let's Go!

(Chorus)

C'mon gal, sit with me - under that old apple tree

Adam and Eve did it wrong - let's do it right all night long! Let's Go!

(Chorus)
