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