GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS
(Billy Briggs)


Billy Gray & His Western Oakies - 1955



I'm just a plain old country hick
That likes the taste of red lipstick
Girls, girls, girls, purty, purty girls

Go to town on Saturday in my car
Drive up and down Main Street lookin' for
Girls, girls, girls, purty, purty girls

Well, I like 'em skinny and I like 'em tall
I like 'em short and I like 'em small
I like 'em nice and I like 'em mean
I like 'em fat and I like 'em lean

They'll make love to you in the dark
They'll leave you flat and break your heart
Girls, girls, girls, purty, purty girls

(Instrumental Break)

I work all week to make my dough
But Saturday night I blow and go
Girls, girls, girls, purty, purty girls

On the farm I have to milk the cows
But I spend my weekends chasin' gals
Girls, girls, girls, purty, purty girls

What's wrong with me, I just can't see
'Cause I'm as normal as can be
Us country boys must be the same
'Cause Saturday night we all raise Cain

I'm just a plain old country hick
That likes the taste of red lipstick
Girls, girls, girls, purty, purty girls
