I'M LITTLE BUT I'M LOUD

Recorded by: (Little) Jimmy Dickens

Writers: B. Bryant & J. Dickens

A [G] lot of folks have told me

I was [C] pulled 'fore I was [G] ripe

A winter apple picked off in the [D7] fall

But [G] even as a youngin'

I was [C] ] not the bashful [G] type

'Cause I could yell the [D7] loudest of them [G] all.

CHORUS

I'm [C] ] little, but I'm loud

I'm [G] poor, but I'm proud

I'm countrified and I don't care who [D7] knows it

I'm [G] like a banty rooster

In a [C] big, red rooster [G] crowd

I'm puny, short and [D7] little, but I'm [G] loud.

I learned to do my singin

Walkin' 'long behind a plow

The singin' teachers always passed me by

And so I have to sing

The only way that I know how

Just rare back, open up and let 'er fly.

CHORUS

I sang a special solo song

In church one Sunday morn'

And I was plumb embarassed to my chin

I hit a high note, looked around

And sure as I was born

Two cows and fourteen hogs were walkin' in.

CHORUS
