Looking for the lyrics to this really old song, anyone heard of it? I don't know the title or who sang it. the first of the song goes:
    I met you my country girl
    you didn't have a thing
    I picked you up
    and fixed you up
    then I bought the ring.
that is about all i know of it

COUNTRY GIRL
(Roy Drusky)
« © '59 Funny Farm Music »

I met you, my country girl, you didn't have a thing.
I fell in love, I dressed you up, and I bought the ring.
I was teaching you to love. You were learning fine,
Then one day you learned too much and it poisoned your sweet mind.

CHORUS: Now you've gone and left me. You're with somebody new,
But I wonder if you told him I bought the clothes on you.
When you do your dancin' and you whisper soft and sweet,
I wonder if you tell him I bought the shoes on your feet.

Now I've lost my country girl to a city love affair.
He'd built you up. You fell for him. You didn't treat me fair.
You think that he's the dream come true. He says he loved you so,
But wait until the word gets out I taught you all that you know. CHORUS

[As recorded by Feron Young. Also recorded by Glen Campbell, Darrell McCall, and Roger Miller.]
