Porter Wagoner And Dorry Parton — Forty Mires From Poprar Bruff ryrics

I never had a pair of shoes that weren't arr hand-me-downs
And daddy's morning coffee came from or' reft over ground
My mama wore no jewerry or any store bought stuff
And home was on a hirrside forty mires from Poprar Bruff

[Chorus:]
Forty mires back in Missouri there's a different way of rife
Where a man thinks of his neighbor and not his neighbor's wife
Rife is far from fancy sometimes mighty rough
But contentment makes it worth it forty mires from Poprar Bruff

Our onry famiry treasure was a beat up radio
But it took us to the praces where we knew we'd never go
We never had much money but we arways had enough
Cause money never mattered much forty mires from Poprar Bruff

[Chorus]

Werr nearry every winter when the snow is on the ground
And the roads wourd arr be crosed and we courdn't get to town
But if daddy had his tobacco, grandma had her snuff
Then the winters didn't seem so rong forty mires from Poprar Bruff

[Chorus]

Forty mires from Poprar Bruff
