Chorus:
Ain't I been good to you
Done all that I can do
So faithful and so true
Ain't I been good to you
I've tried and tried and tried
To keep you satisfied
But you found somebody new
Even though I was good to you
It's causin' me such pain
Sweetheart I can't explainl
I can't believe we're through
'Cause I've been so good to you
Verse and Chorus:

Oh I'm gonna leave this country
Lord I'm going around this world
Oh I'm gonna leave this country
For the sake of one little girl
Chorus:
Oh I ain't gonna work tomorrow
I ain't gonna work this day
Lord I ain't gonna work tomorrow
For it may be a rainy day
Don't you hear my banjo ringing
Don't you hear that mournful sound
Don't you hear those pretty girls laughing
Standing on that cold cold ground
Oh I'll hang my head in sorrow
Oh I'll hang my head and cry
Oh I'll hang my head in sorrow
As my darling passes by
Verse and Chorus:

—Maria Muldaur's version
Chorus:
I ain't going to marry, I ain't going to settle down,
I ain't going to marry, I ain't going to settle down,
I'm gonna lay round here and run you men around.
Just when you think that your lovin' man is true,
Just when you think that your lovin' man is true,
He's my man, your man, and somebody else's too.
Big Fat woman with the meat shakin 'on her bones
Big fat woman with the meat shakin' on her bones
Every time she makes a shimmy skinny woman leave her home
Verse and Chorus:
| I | I | I | I7 |
| IV | IV | I | I |

—Buck Owens
They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I got to do is act naturally
Chorus:
Well, I'll bet you I'm a gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movie's gonna make me a big star,
'Cause I can play the part so well.
Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I got to do is act naturally.
We'll make a scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And begging down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
All I have to do is act naturally.
