Yeah, she pays no mind to methods you employ
 
 She wants a big city man, not a country boy
 
  
  Go get your long hair cut
 
 Scrape the mud off your boots
 
 Eh, wash the hell behind those ears
 
 Buy yourself some tailored suits
  
 
 Oh, Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds
 
 Before she lets her knickers down
 
 She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone
 
 Makes no difference how you strive
 
 She couldn't care if you were dead or alive
 
 A burly, beefy, strong arm man
 
 Is all she cares to meet
  
 
 Before you ever heard the word guitar
 
 Yes, your mother used to see her as a star
 
 Yes, she spent her teens?
 
 In chauffered limosines--
 
 And I heard tell you can't get insured
 
 For a clapped out '45 drop head Ford
  
 
 Oh, Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds
 
 Before she lets her knick, knick, knick, knickers down
 
 She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone
 
 She'll tear you down like a steer comin' through
 
 Like I said she ain't no use to you
 
 A lumpy hairy mundane brain
 
 Is all she cares to make
  
 
 So let me put you straight, yeah
 
 Marry farm-yard Kate
 
 Yep, she weighs two hundred pounds its said
 
 Oh, she'll keep you warm in bed
  
 
 Oh, Buttermilk Boy, you better gain some pounds
 
 Before she lets her knick, I say, knickers down
 
 Well, a musclely man all gristle and bone
 
 So you like to think you know where its about
 
 But she'll suck you in and then she'll blow you out
 
 Yeah, Kate will keep you satisfied
 
 Until your dying day
  
 
 Yeah, let me hear some of that strong-arm music
