G D7 My Daddy used to tan my hide, Out Behind the Barn G He taught me to be dignified Out Behind the Barn C When he took his strap to me G And turned me down across his knee D7 G He sure missed up my dignity, Out Behind the Barn (Chorus) G D7 I got my education Out Behind the Barn G I ain't a foolin' no sir-eeee D7 Passed each examination Out Behind the Barn G And it almost made a man out of me G D7 I smoked my first cigarette Out Behind the Barn G And that's one day I won't forget Out Behind the Barn C I got sick you should have seen G How that tobacco turned me green D7 G I almost died of nicotine Out Behind the Barn G D7 I met a pretty girl one day Out Behind the Barn G She wanted me to stay and play Out Behind the Barn C She taught me to kiss and pet G That's a game I can't forget D7 G Cause we still play that same game yet Out Behind the Barn G D7 I'm glad that I can go again Out Behind the Barn G And do the things that I did then Out Behind the Barn C Now you might think it ain't no fun G To be a poor ole farmers son D7 G You don't know what all I've done Out Behind the Barn G D7 I got my education Out Behind the Barn G and it made a better man out of me, D7 G and it almost made a wreck out of me.
