Folks are dumb where I come from, 
they aint had any learnin' 
Still they're happy as can be, 
Doin what comes natur'lly.  [x 2]

Sister Sal who's musical has never had a lesson, 
Still she's learned to sing off key, 
Doin what comes natur'lly.  [x 2]

You don't have to know how to read or write 
When you're out with a feller in the pale moonlight. 
You don't have to come from a great big town 
Not to go picking berries in an evening gown 
That comes natur'lly.  [x 2]

My uncle out in Texas can't even write his name, 
He signs his cheques with X's, but they cash them just the same. 
Grandpa Dick was always sick but never saw a doctor, 
He just died at 93, 
Doin what comes natur'lly.  [x 2]
