You're a big ol' country fool
You better go back to school
You big ol' country fool
I got my gal a diamond ring
Big as a city brick
I got her a fine make coat
To make her look real slick
She hugged me and she kissed me
She called me daddy -o
So I bought that gal a Cadillac car
I ain't seen her no more
You're a big ol' country fool,
yeah, yeah
You're a big ol' country fool,
yeah, yeah
You're a big ol' country fool
You better go back to school,
you big ol' country fool, yeah, yeah
I found out where my baby went
And I caught that morning train
I knew I wouldn't feel right
until I heard her explain
She ran into my arms
as I kicked down the door
She begged me for another chance
and I gave in once more
You're a big old country fool,
yeah, yeah
You're a big old country fool,
yeah, yeah
You're a big ol' country fool
You better go back to school
You big ol' country fool
Yeah, yeah
When I got back to my hometown,
I had myself a wife
Now I'm stuck for better or worse,
for the rest of my life
She wines and dines and cocktail sips,
cabarets all night
I'm on my way to the poorhouse,
and you know that ain't right
You're a big ol' country fool,
yeah, yeah
You're a big ol' country fool,
yeah, yeah
You're a big ol' country fool
You better go back to school,
you big ol' country fool
Yeah, yeah you
