I lost a few songs way back , had a virus wipe me out several times, maybe it was a worm. Lucky enough I had a copy of this one, this song just about sums me up, I can remember that the early banjos were strung with dried cat gut, hence the reference in the first verse, Sure would appreciate yer all givin’ this one the look over.


I’M A COUNTRY NUT

verse 1
I'M A COUTRY NUT
Another sucker for a steel GUITAR
Got a hound dog he’s called MERLE
My woman talks a lot like MINNIE PEARL
At school I was a duff at HISTORY
But I learned all about the OLE OPREY
I string my banjo with some DREID CAT GUT
I’M A COUNTRY NUT.

Verse 2

Yea I’M A COUTRY NUT
My studios a Bitsy Hall Of FAME
Souvenirs sit ‘round a Country JEWEL
The string that made the riff to Don’t Be CRUEL
I write a hit song every day it’s TRUE
All guaranteed to tug your heartstrings TOO
One day I’m hoping for a Nashville CUT
Cause I’m a COUNTRY NUT

Bridge
I got a Waylon Jennings attitude
And I’m close to the knuckle
But I’m never ever RUDE
I like them Golden Oldies TOO
I gotta thang about Roger Miller it’s TRUE

Verse 3
(I change the meter but use a similar melody)

So DOO DI DOO yer wanna Dang ME
A bunch of fellars wanna hang ME
Up to dry against that ole OAK TREE
‘cause they say I’m to WET
At cards I even lose the CUT
When they make jokes guess I’m their BUT
Who cares, I’m jest your happy laid back
Country Nut
I’M A COUNTRY NUT.

Hi There John,

Hey Pete, I like this. It is descriptive and has easy, self depracating humour; and the words suggest a rhythm and melody right from the opener. This is how I hear it.

I'm a COUNtry nut
Another SUCKer for a STEEL guitARRGH


So now you're going to have to tell me where your website is so I can hear this the way you wrote it.

John

Anyone Know how I gwt a smiley icon on my quotes or messages.

Mornin' Peter! Very cool song! Nicely written and entertaining too! You asked about the smileys. Just look over to the left when you are posting and you will see a
Smiles Legend link. Just click on there and choose the one you want. Example: for the regular smiley just type a COLON followed by a PARENTHESIS (Left side) wherever you want the smiley to appear.

Hi Peter,
Lookin good but what do you mean by yer wanna dang me Maybe it's a country nut kinda thing
Fun song...am looking forward to hearing the demo

Hi Hurley,

The Dang Me comes from my referance in the Bridge to Roger Miller, He was a great act from the sixities, (Country) and he had a
famous song Called "Dang Me"

The Chorus went

Dang Me Dang me
Take me too a tree and Hang me
Hang me from a wide oak tree
Woman wont yer weep for me
Doo Doo Doo Dooba Dooby Doo Dang Dang
Dooby Doo Dang Dang
Dooby Dooby Doo Dang dang

Copyright Roger Miller 1964

so I was using that for the Liking
Roger Miller referance in my song

Also thank you Janice for helping me again with my Computer Question

Thanks Peter...thought it probably came from something!!!
Best of luck with this
Pam

Hi Peter,

What a great song you have here,
You want to try and get a Country voice with a Real Strong Accent for this one, would
also love to hear the Demo when you have
it ready
