Country Fed 03:00
It was not too long ago my friend When my heart was young and gay I met the sweetest little girl In the whole darn USA Her hair was soft as finest silk And her lips were full and red Her eyes were filled with laughter And she is country fed In a house beside the railroad track She always waits for me Her love she does not try to hide It's there for the world to see I can hardly wait for Saturday night When the cows are milked and fed I'll head across the mountain And see my girl that's country fed Her eyes light up like the morning star When I hold her dainty hand She slips her arms around my neck It's more than I can stand Her kisses set my soul on fire And my face I know turns red But I wouldn't take a fortune For my girl that's country fed Well I can't live without her love And I want her day and night I hope that she will marry me 'Cause I want to do what's right I hope that soon that I can say With this ring, I thee wed Live happily ever after With my girl that's country fed [The following extra verse was written by Greg Kiser (Leon's son) and sang by Greg at The Leon Kiser Memorial Tribute in honor of Leon.] In a place where all believers go I quietly abide Anticipating a future time She'll again be by my side When that day comes I'll show the world Our love was never dead I'll meet her at that river And see my girl that's country fed
