Okie From Muskogee - Lyrics - Ferlin Husky

Ferlin Eugene Husky was an early American country music singer who was equally adept at the genres of traditional honky-tonk, ballads, spoken recitations, and rockabilly pop tunes. He had two dozen Top 20 hits in the Billboard country charts between 1953 and 1975; his versatility and matinee-idol looks propelling a seven-decade entertainment career.

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee and we don't take trips on LSD We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street Cause we like living right and being free And we don't make a party out of loving but we like holding hands and pitching woo We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy like the hippies out in San Francisco do And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee A place where even squares can have a ball We still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen Football's still the roughest thing on campus And the kids here still respect the college dean And I'm proud to be an Okie... And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all (in Muskogee Oklahoma USA)
