Would anyone happen to know this song, I am not even sure if this is the title but here are the words I know.

I may be little but I'm, loud, I may be poor but I'm proud, I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it. I'm like a bantam rooster in a big red rooster crowd. I'm little, small and puny but I'm loud.

I would think there is more but this is all I have. Also would anyone know who's song this is or is this a kids song? I know I have heard it but my mind is drawing blanks.

Thanks, Judy

I'M LITTLE BUT I'M LOUD
Recorded by: (Little) Jimmy Dickens
Writers: B. Bryant & J. Dickens

A [G] lot of folks have told me I was [C] pulled 'fore I was [G] ripe,
A winter apple picked off in the [D7] fall.
But [G] even as a young 'un I was [C] not the bashful [G] type,
'Cause I could yell the [D7] loudest of them [G] all.

CHORUS: I'm [C] little, but I'm loud. I'm [G] poor, but I'm proud.
I'm countrified and I don't care who [D7] knows it.
I'm [G] like a banty rooster in a [C] big, red rooster [G] crowd.
I'm puny, short and [D7] little, but I'm [G] 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 r'ar back, open up and let 'er fly. CHORUS

I sang a special solo song in church one Sunday morn,
And I was plumb embarrassed 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
