I'm Little But I'm Loud Lyrics - Singles - Little Jimmy Dickens

A lot of folks have told me 

I was pulled 'fore I was ripe 

A winter apple picked off in the fall 

But even as a youngin' 

I was not the bashful type 

'Cause I could yell the loudest of them all. 

CHORUS 

I'm little, but I'm loud 

I'm poor, but I'm proud 

I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it 

I'm like a banty rooster 

In a big, red rooster crowd 

I'm puny, short and little, but I'm 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
