I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it’s cold outside I’ve got the month of May
I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talking about my girl (my girl)

I’ve got so much honey the bees envy me
I’ve got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talking about my girl (my girl)

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooh

I don’t need no money, fortune, or fame
I’ve got all the riches baby one man can claim
I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talking about my girl (my girl)

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl

I’ve even got the month of May
With my girl

David Allan Coe was born in Akron, Ohio in 1939. Coe, with his outlaw country sound, soon became one of the most colorful and controversial country musicians of all time. During Coe’s three years at the Ohio State Penitentiary, Coe received encouragement to write songs from Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Coe was known for odd antics, such as living in a hearse in front of the Grand Ole Opry, and also living in a cave after his house was taken in Key West, Florida. David Allan Coe was most controversial for his two X-Rated albums “Nothing Sacred” and “Underground”.

However, even with the two explicit and controversial X-Rated albums, Coe cemented a spot in country music, with famous songs such as “You Never Even Called Me By My Name and “The Ride”.
