G
He walked up to the bar and parked his
G7 C G
Lanky frame upon a tall barstool
D7
And with a long soft southern drawl said
G
I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool
G
E barroom girl with hard and knowing eyes
G7 C G
Slowly looked him up and down
D7
And she thought I wonder how on earth
G
That country bumpkin found his way to town
G7 C
And she said hello country bumpkin
D7 G
How's the frost out on the pumpkin
G7 C
I've seen some sights but man you're something
D7 G
Where'd you come from country bumpkin
G
It was just a short year later in a bed
G7 C G
Of joy-filled tears yet death-like pain
D7
Into this wondrous world of many wonders
G
One more wonder came
G
That same woman's face was wrapped up
G7 C G
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
D7
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
D7 G
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin
G7 C
I've seen some sights but babe you're something
D7 G
Mama loves her country bumpkin
G
Forty years of hard work later
G7 C G
In a simple quiet and peaceful country place
D7
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
G7 C G
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run
D7
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
D7 G
The frost is gone now from the pumpkin
G7 C
I've seen some sights and life's been something
D7 G
See you later country bumpkin
