Don't Go Messin' with a Country Boy - Hillbilly Jim

[bubbafan2]

I noticed these lyrics were not on Hillbilly Jim's page, and I couldn't find another thread on them via search. I'm gonna need some help with these. The parts highlighted in red are almost unintelligible to me.

Don't go messin' with a country boy
A country boy
A country boy
Don't go messin' with a country boy
Don't mess with a country boy

When I was a little bitty boy baby
I cut my teeth on a big ol' tree
Mama filled my bottle from a moonshine still
My first meal was a bear she killed
A bear she killed
A bear she killed
My first meal was a bear she killed

Well I grew and I grew
And by the time I was 10
I was 6 feet tall
And a man among men
????Now I love my work and I love my play?????
I hate for the fool that'll get in my way
Get in my way
Get in my way
I hate for the fool that'll get in my way

Don't go messin' with a country boy
A country boy
A country boy
Don't go messin' with a country boy
Don't mess with a country boy

If you go messin' with a country boy
A country boy
A country boy
If you go messin' with a country boy
This is what'll happen to you

You'll be ???????????
????Bit to chew????
????Bit to chew????
You'll be ???????????
That's what'll happen to you

Don't go messin' with a country boy
A country boy
A country boy
Don't go messin' with a country boy
Don't mess with a country boy

Country boy, country boy
Don't go messin' with a country boy
