My Life Story

(album: Here's Loretta Lynn - 1968)

Here's the story of my life so listen and I'll tell it nice
Yeah hey yeah hey yeah hey
Well I was born in old Kentucky in them hills where folks are lucky
And it's paradise to me

Well the hogs are grunting and the roosters' a crowing
Way back here in parts unknowing
Pa's a milking and maw's a sweeping
Brothers stand and you're asleep just too lazy to move

The kids are yelling maw's got leven a way back here in paradise heaven
Yeah hey yeah hey yeah hey
The banjo's a going and so is the fiddle I think I'll just do a little
Of that ole hillbilly hoedown

Well I got a feller right over the hill
If he asks me to marry well I know I will
He asked me to marry got kissed before
And I'm telling you I don't want no more
Yeah hey yeah hey yeah hey

Well I got a feller right over the hill
If he asks me to marry well I know I will
He asked me to marry got kissed before
And I'm telling you I don't want no more
Yeah hey yeah hey yeah hey
