C
He walked up to the bar and parked his
C7 F C
Lanky frame upon a tall barstool
G7
And with a long soft southern drawl said
C
I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool
C
A barroom girl with hard and knowing eyes
C7 F C
Slowly looked him up and down
G7
And she thought I wonder how on earth
C
That country bumpkin found his way to town
C7 F
And she said hello country bumpkin
G7 C
How's the frost out on the pumpkin
C7 F
I've seen some sights but man you're something
G7 C
Where'd you come from country bumpkin
C
It was just a short year later in a bed
C7 F C
Of joy-filled tears yet death-like pain
G7
Into this wondrous world of many wonders
C
One more wonder came
C
That same woman's face was wrapped up
C7 F C
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
G7
As she marveled at the soft and warm
C
And cuddly boy child feeding at her breast
C F
And she said hello country bumpkin
G7 C
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin
C7 F
I've seen some sights but babe you're something
G7 C
Mama loves her country bumpkin
C
Forty years of hard work later
C7 F C
In a simple quiet and peaceful country place
G7
The heavy hand of time had not erased
C
The raptured wonder from the woman's face
C
She was lying on her death bed
C7 F C
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run
G7
But she softly smiled and looked into
C
The sad eyes of her husband and her son
C F
And she said so long country bumpkin
G7 C
The frost is gone now from the pumpkin
C7 F
I've seen some sights and life's been something
G7 C
See you later country bumpkin
