A#
He walked up to the bar and parked his
A#7 D# A#
Lanky frame upon a tall barstool
F7
And with a long soft southern drawl said
A#
I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool
A#
G barroom girl with hard and knowing eyes
A#7 D# A#
Slowly looked him up and down
F7
And she thought I wonder how on earth
A#
That country bumpkin found his way to town
A#7 D#
And she said hello country bumpkin
F7 A#
How's the frost out on the pumpkin
A#7 D#
I've seen some sights but man you're something
F7 A#
Where'd you come from country bumpkin
A#
It was just a short year later in a bed
A#7 D# A#
Of joy-filled tears yet death-like pain
F7
Into this wondrous world of many wonders
A#
One more wonder came
A#
That same woman's face was wrapped up
A#7 D# A#
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
F7
As she marveled at the soft and warm
A#
And cuddly boy child feeding at her breast
A# D#
And she said hello country bumpkin
F7 A#
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin
A#7 D#
I've seen some sights but babe you're something
F7 A#
Mama loves her country bumpkin
A#
Forty years of hard work later
A#7 D# A#
In a simple quiet and peaceful country place
F7
The heavy hand of time had not erased
A#
The raptured wonder from the woman's face
A#
She was lying on her death bed
A#7 D# A#
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run
F7
But she softly smiled and looked into
A#
The sad eyes of her husband and her son
A# D#
And she said so long country bumpkin
F7 A#
The frost is gone now from the pumpkin
A#7 D#
I've seen some sights and life's been something
F7 A#
See you later country bumpkin
