CITY GIRL STOLE MY COUNTRY BOY, A
(Robert Mosely / Russell Murray)


Patti Page - 1961


A city girl stole my country boy

To me, he's a treasure
To her, he's just a toy
A city girl stole my country boy

My heart's filled with sadness
That once was filled with joy
A city girl stole my country boy

She's awful fancy with store bought clothes
Her ways are cityfied from her hair to her toes

Oh, he's gone from his homefolks
She's taken all my joy
A city girl stole my country boy

Oh, why, why did she come here
My love to destroy
The city girl stole my country boy
