[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
Well, I got a feller right over the hill
If he asks me to marry, 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey
[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 3]
Now me and Doo married 48 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

[Outro]
Well, here's the story of my life
Listen and I'll tell it twice
Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey
