This is an adaptation of the Merle Haggard “An Oakie from Muskogie”

Chorus: It’s been a while since we heard this song the first time

Now it’s time to bring you up to date

And if you’ve got some worries ‘bout our contry

Let’s just hope your worries are’nt to late.

WE FINALLY SOMOKED MARIJUANNA IN MUSKOGIE

AND THERE’S BEEN SOM TRIPS ON L.S.D.

THE BEEN SNIFFIN “ WHITE CLOUD” DOWN BY THE COURTHOUSE

AND WE LIKE BEING HIGH AND BEIN’ FREE

And I’m proud to be an Oakie from Muskogie

A place where all of us still have a ball

And we still wave OL”GLORY down on main street

And white lightnin’s being sold at city hall

WE LIKE OUR PARTIES WITH SOME LOVIN’

WE LIKE THE THINGS OLDER WOMEN DO

WE LIKE WEARIN’ OUR HAIR ALL ROUGH AND SCRUFFY

LIKE THE OUTLAWS ON THOSE RECORD ALBUMS DO

Chorus:And I’m proud to be an Oakie from Muskogie

A place where all of us still have a ball

And we still wave OL”GLORY down on main street

And white lightnin’s being sold at city hall

LEAD BREAK

Chorus:And I’m proud to be an Oakie from Muskogie,

A place where bein high don’t mean you’ll fall

We still wave OL’ Glory down on main street

Don’t guess that we’ve changed that much at all

EVEN THOUGH WE’RE SMOKIN MARIJUANNA

WE STILL LIKE TO SPIT AND HAVE OUR CHEW

PIGTAILS STILL AREN’T THO POOR OL’ WILLIE

BUT WE DON’T CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO.

COWBOY BOOTS ARE THE ONLY KIND OF FOOTWEAR 

BUT WE’VE ALWAYS WORN THAT KINDA STYLE

THERE’S STILL SOME REDNECK LEFT INSIDE US

AND I KNOW IT’S GONNA BE THERE FOR A WHILE

And I’m proud to be an Oakie from Muskogie

A place where all of us still have a ball

And we still wave OL”GLORY down on main street

And white lightnin’s being sold at city hall

COUNTRY MUSIC HAS FINALLY HIT THE BIG TIME

AND IT SEEMS WE SET THE COUNTRY’S STYLE

BUT WE’RE NOT LIKE THE DUDES IN OTHER CITIES

CAUSE WE BEEN LOVIN’ COUNTRY ALL THE WHILE

               And i’m proud to be an oakie from muskogie

               A place where we don’t judge our fellow man

               We still wave OL GLORY down on main street

AND EVERYBODY DOES THE BEST THAT HE CAN
