My little girl is a country girl
My little girl is a country girl
Means more to me than anything in the world

She fixe my breakfast, lunch an' dinner
Fix 'em ri-ight on time
She fix my breakfast, lunch an' dinner
Fix 'em right on time
Glad to be back-a home
With that little girl of mine

That's why I'm glad, glad
Glad to be back home at last
Ooh-ooh, I'm glad, glad, glad
To be back home at last
Well, since I saw my baby
Yeah, many a day have past

Well, I roll in the station
Around 6:45
Yes, I roll in the station
Around 6:45
Should of seen my baby's face
To see my train arrive

It made me feel so good
To walk in the door
Yes, it made me feel so good
To walk in the door
Find ev'rything the same
Even my pallet on the floor

I said 'A-hi-i-i-i, baby
I won't worry you no more'
Yes, I said, 'Hi-i-i-i, baby
I won't worry you no more'
Well, I'm right where I belong
I ain't gon' run out that door
