[Freddy] 
I'm just a little country boy 
Lookin' for my pride and joy 
I came to the city just to see what I could see 
I just made it in your town 
Thought I'd take a look around 
I wanna tell you baby 
Just how good you look to me 
My mama told me there will be sometime like this 
She told me there would be some moments here will flip 
She warned me of a lot of things I had to do 
But she didn't tell me I would meet somebody like you 
Somebody take a chance with me 
I want you to romance with me 
You might say I'm coy 
'Cause I'm just a little country boy 
[Margaret] 
I'm just a little country girl 
Living in a great big world 
I met some country boy 
And I've got some news for you 
He swept me right off my feet 
Made my life complete 
My heart skipped a beat 
'Cause he thrilled me through and through 
ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo 
[Sung together] 
We gonna march together down the aisle today 
We gonna see the preacher in the business way 
Oh I'm so happy can't you see I'm thrilled with joy? 
[Freddy] 
(Can't believe how this could happen to a country boy) 
So come and take me by the hand (M) 
Let me be your lovin' man (F) 
I'm in a great big world (M) 
My baby is a country girl (F) 
I found my toy (M) 
I'm a country boy (F)
