Cat. #1436 (MFH #970) - As sung by Otis Williams, Wesley, Arkansas on
VERSE 1
An honest cuss, with a friendly grin
A level eye an' a heart within
So full of good, not much room for sin
That's a hillbilly
VERSE 2
A kindly word an' a "howdy-do"
Binder-twine for a string in his shoe
Baling wire for a bustin too
That's a hillbilly
VERSE 3
Ole log house with cracks in th floor
But wax --- --- when you reach th door
We h'aint got much but your welcome too
That's a hillbilly
VERSE 4
Setting up when a neighbor's ill
Helping out with a free goodwill
Rocky, stumpy ground to till
That's a hillbilly
VERSE 5
Dances all night an' see no wrong
Plump an' pretty, plods along
Sing th ole camp meeting songs
That's a hillbilly
VERSE 6
An' he thinks up yonder, at th end of th way
Near th throne of God, where th angels stay
They'll point to him with pride, an' say
That's a hillbilly
