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 old 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 me to marry
Well, I know I will
He asked me to marry
Got kids of four
And I'm telling you I don't want no more
Yeah hey
Yeah hey
Yeah hey
Doo got me a guitar
I wrote me a song
Moved to Nashville
It wasn't long
Till I was on
The Grand Ole Opry
We bought us a mansion on the hill
Living big like we were big deals
Scarlett O'Hara
"Gone With the Wind"
I was pregnant again
Oh, gee
Oh, Lord
I swear
The babies are coming 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 fourty-eight years
Six kids later
A lot of laughter and tears
I have to say
That I've been blessed
Not bad for this old 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
