A
He walked up to the bar and parked his
A7 D A
Lanky frame upon a tall barstool
E7
And with a long soft southern drawl said
A
I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool
A
F# barroom girl with hard and knowing eyes
A7 D A
Slowly looked him up and down
E7
And she thought I wonder how on earth
A
That country bumpkin found his way to town
A7 D
And she said hello country bumpkin
E7 A
How's the frost out on the pumpkin
A7 D
I've seen some sights but man you're something
E7 A
Where'd you come from country bumpkin
A
It was just a short year later in a bed
A7 D A
Of joy-filled tears yet death-like pain
E7
Into this wondrous world of many wonders
A
One more wonder came
A
That same woman's face was wrapped up
A7 D A
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
E7
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
E7 A
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin
A7 D
I've seen some sights but babe you're something
E7 A
Mama loves her country bumpkin
A
Forty years of hard work later
A7 D A
In a simple quiet and peaceful country place
E7
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
A7 D A
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run
E7
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
E7 A
The frost is gone now from the pumpkin
A7 D
I've seen some sights and life's been something
E7 A
See you later country bumpkin
