Little Jimmy Dickens I`m Little But I`m Loud Lyrics

I`m Little But I`m Loud Lyrics

A lot of folks have told me

I was pulled 'fore I was ripe

A winter apple picked off in the fall

But even as a youngin'

I was not the bashful type

'Cause I could yell the loudest of them all.



CHORUS

I'm little, but I'm loud

I'm poor, but I'm proud

I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it

I'm like a banty rooster

In a big, red rooster crowd

I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud.



I learned to do my singin

Walkin' 'long behind a plow

The singin' teachers always passed me by

And so I have to sing

The only way that I know how

Just rare back, open up and let 'er fly.



CHORUS



I sang a special solo song

In church one Sunday morn'

And I was plumb embarassed to my chin

I hit a high note, looked around

And sure as I was born

Two cows and fourteen hogs were walkin' in.



CHORUS
