Country Girl - Lyrics - Faron Young

Faron Young was an American country music singer and songwriter from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s and one of its most successful and colorful stars. Hits including "If You Ain't Lovin' " and "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" marked him as a honky-tonk singer in sound and personal style; and his chart-topping singles "Hello Walls" and "It's Four in the Morning" showed his versatility as a vocalist. Known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob, and following a movie role, the Young Sheriff, Young's singles reliably charted for more than 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. Young is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

I met you, my country girl You didn't have a thing I fell in love, I dressed you up Then I bought the ring I was teaching you to love You were learning fine Then one day, you learned too much And it poisoned your sweet mind Now you've gone and left me You're with somebody new But I wonder if you told him I bought the clothes on you When you two are dancin' And you whisper soft and sweet I wonder if you tell him I bought the shoes on your feet Now I've lost my country girl To a city love affair He'd built you up, you fell for him You didn't treat me fair You think that he's a dream come true He says he loves you so But wait until the word gets out I taught you all that you know Now you've gone and left me You're with somebody new But I wonder if you told him I bought the clothes on you When you two are dancin' And you whisper soft and sweet I wonder if you'll tell him I bought the shoes on your feet...
