Glen Templeton - Jesus Was a Country Boy

Well he was born in the country inside of a barn
Just out of town on a little old farm
He slept in a manger with the cows and the sheep
Sweet Mother Mary used to rock him to sleep
Raised up in the land of the rolling hills
Where they said Grace over every meal
If you don't believe me you can read for yourself
Take that old bible down off of the shelf
Jesus was a country boy this I know
The stories in the Bible tell me so
A chip off the block of a carpenter man
He loved to go fishing when he had the chance
The birds and the animals were his best friends
He was always right there to lend a helping hand
Down to Earth humble
The Father's pride and joy
Oh thank good God almighty Jesus was a country boy
Thank good God almighty
Jesus was a country boy
He traveled down them dusty roads
Surrounded himself with some real good folks
Made homemade bread when they sat down for supper
He had a country heart I'm telling you brother
Baptized by John in the muddy river
He never was a taker he was always a giver
It's all right there for the world to see
Jesus was a country boy like you and me
Jesus was a country boy this I know
The stories in the Bible tell me so
A chip off the block of a carpenter man
He loved to go fishing when he had the chance
The birds and the animals were his best friends
He was always right there to lend a helping hand
Down to Earth humble
The Father's pride and joy
Oh thank good God almighty
Jesus was a country boy
The birds and the animals were his best friends
He was always right there to lend a helping hand
Down to Earth humble
The Father's pride and joy
Oh thank good God almighty
Jesus was a country boy
Hallelujah Jesus was a country boy
