COUNTRY GIRL 
(Roy Drusky)

as recorded by Faron Young
1959


I met you, my country girl, you didn't have a thing;
I fell in love, I dressed you up, then I bought the ring.
I was teachin' you to love, you were learnin' fine,
Then one day you learned too much, and it poisoned your sweet mind!

Now you've gone and left me, you're with somebody new,
But I wonder if you told him I bought the clothes on you!
When you two are dancin' and you whisper soft and sweet,
I wonder if you'll tell him, I bought the shoes on your feet?

Now I've lost my country girl to a city love affair,
He built you up, you fell for him, you didn't treat me fair!
You think that he's a dream come true, he says he loves you so,
But wait until the word gets out, I taught you all that you know!

Now you've gone and left me, you're with somebody new,
But I wonder if you told him I bought the clothes on you!
When you two are dancin' and you whisper soft and sweet,
I wonder if you'll tell him, I bought the shoes on your feet?
