Well, here's the story of my life,
Listen and I'll tell it twice.
Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey.
Well, I was borned in ole Kentucky
In them hills where folks are lucky
And it's paradise to me.
Well, I got a feller right over the hill
If he asks my to marry I know I will.
He asked me to marry, got kids of four
And I'm tellin you I dont want no more.
Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey.
Doo got me a guitar
I wrote me a song
Moved to nashville
It wasnt long
Til' I was on
The Grand Ole Opry.
We bought us a mansion on the hill
Livin' big like we were big deals
Scarlet O'hara, Gone With the Wind
I was pregnant again.
Oh gee, Oh Lord I swear
The babies are comin' in pairs.
Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey.
Well, some big shot from Hollywood
Thought a movie about my life would be good
It was a big hit
Made a big splash
What I wanna know
Is what happened to the cash.
Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey.
Now me and Doo married 48 years
Six kids later a lot of laughter and tears.
I hafta say that I've been blessed
Not bad for this ole Kentucky girl I guess.
Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey.
Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey.
Well, here's the story of my life,
Listen and I'll tell it twice.
Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey...
