C#
He walked up to the bar and parked his
C#7 F# C#
Lanky frame upon a tall barstool
G#7
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
C#7 F# C#
Slowly looked him up and down
G#7
And she thought I wonder how on earth
C#
That country bumpkin found his way to town
C#7 F#
And she said hello country bumpkin
G#7 C#
How's the frost out on the pumpkin
C#7 F#
I've seen some sights but man you're something
G#7 C#
Where'd you come from country bumpkin
C#
It was just a short year later in a bed
C#7 F# C#
Of joy-filled tears yet death-like pain
G#7
Into this wondrous world of many wonders
C#
One more wonder came
C#
That same woman's face was wrapped up
C#7 F# C#
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
G#7
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
G#7 C#
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin
C#7 F#
I've seen some sights but babe you're something
G#7 C#
Mama loves her country bumpkin
C#
Forty years of hard work later
C#7 F# C#
In a simple quiet and peaceful country place
G#7
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
C#7 F# C#
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run
G#7
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
G#7 C#
The frost is gone now from the pumpkin
C#7 F#
I've seen some sights and life's been something
G#7 C#
See you later country bumpkin
