You are a girl from the country
Your eyes remind me of the sun
You came to visit in the city
And won the heart’s of everyone

You are a girl from the country
Your hair is colored like the corn
I have never been outside the city
I am no friend to anyone

Country girl won’t you stay a while
Won’t you stay a while with me
Country girl won’t you stay a while
Let me see you smile for me

You are a girl from the country
Before you came I was alone
Please say you’ll take me to the country
And let me share your country home
