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