1st verse:]

I know a girl

Sweet little pearl

Doesn't know a thing about the city whirl

Lives on a farm

Where nature's arm

Wraps around her all day

Early to bed

Early to rise

Keeps the light of Heaven shining in her eyes

Happily she spends the hours

Among butterflies and flow'rs



[1st chorus:]

Happy, happy, happy, little country girl

Much too good for any Duke or Earl

Simple dress and ten cent ribbon round her curl

She's a beautiful lady

Ruben lover loves her to her finger tips

Loves her kisses just like honey drips

He doesn't taste a drugstore on her ruby lips

Happy little country girl



[2nd verse:]

Birds on their way

Linger to stay

Long enough to sing to her a fond "Good day"

As she goes by

Roses all sigh

How they envy her cheeks

Early each day

Crowing away

Mister Rooster wakes her and he seems to say

"Dress yourself, for goodness sake!

We'll all be glad when you awake"



[2nd chorus:]

Happy, happy, happy, little country girl

Much too good for any Duke or Earl

Simple dress and ten cent ribbon round her curl

She's a beautiful lady

Nine o'clock her tired eyes refuse to peep

Then into her cozy bed she'll creep

She doesn't miss a minute of her beauty sleep

Happy little country girl
