Tommy Larsson asked for this one. This is how I remember it. Information about the Nashville Number System can be found in the Cowpie lesson archives. My explanation is #3, but all are good. If you want to go there now, click this link:

FUNNY WAY OF LAUGHIN'
Burl Ives
(Chorus)
IT'S JUST MY FUNNY WAY OF LAUGHIN' YES MY, FUNNY WAY OF LAUGHIN'
YOU'RE LEAVIN' DIDN'T BOTHER ME
IT'S JUST MY FUNNY WAY OF LAUGHIN' YES MY, FUNNY WAY OF LAUGHIN'
I'M REALLY HAPPY AS CAN BE
(Verse 1)
IF YOU SEE ME WITH A GREAT BIG SMILE
AT SOME PARTY WHERE THE FUN RUNS WILD
IF TEARS START TO FLOW AND I FALL APART
PLEASE DON'T THINK YOU BROKE MY HEART
(Verse 2)
IF WE MEET--- ON THE STREET
AND A LITTLE BITTA TEAR ROLLS DOWN MY CHEEK
PLEASE DON'T THINK IT'S BECAUSE I'M BLUE
OR THAT I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU
(Verse 3)
REMEMBER THE DAY YOU LEFT OUR PLACE
AND THE TEARS ROLLED DOWN MY FACE
IT WASN'T BECAUSE YOU WERE LEAVIN' ME
I WAS HAPPY BECAUSE YOU WERE PLEASIN' ME
(Chorus)
