Well I got something that I'm proud of and it's a wood choppin' about
Oh well I don't want a string of big fine cars and I don't want no fancy yacht
Well I'm a tellin' you that I'm a happy man and I'm a hangin' on to what I got
I got a girl with two brown eyes and arms to hold me tight
And I don't care if the sun don't shine and daylight turns to night

Well I'm a tellin' you that I'm a happy man and I'm a hangin' on to what I got
I got a girl with two brown eyes...
Well I'm a tellin' you that I'm a happy man and I'm a hangin' on to what I got
