F
He walked up to the bar and parked his
F7 A# F
Lanky frame upon a tall barstool
C7
And with a long soft southern drawl said
F
I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool
F
D barroom girl with hard and knowing eyes
F7 A# F
Slowly looked him up and down
C7
And she thought I wonder how on earth
F
That country bumpkin found his way to town
F7 A#
And she said hello country bumpkin
C7 F
How's the frost out on the pumpkin
F7 A#
I've seen some sights but man you're something
C7 F
Where'd you come from country bumpkin
F
It was just a short year later in a bed
F7 A# F
Of joy-filled tears yet death-like pain
C7
Into this wondrous world of many wonders
F
One more wonder came
F
That same woman's face was wrapped up
F7 A# F
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
C7
As she marveled at the soft and warm
F
And cuddly boy child feeding at her breast
F A#
And she said hello country bumpkin
C7 F
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin
F7 A#
I've seen some sights but babe you're something
C7 F
Mama loves her country bumpkin
F
Forty years of hard work later
F7 A# F
In a simple quiet and peaceful country place
C7
The heavy hand of time had not erased
F
The raptured wonder from the woman's face
F
She was lying on her death bed
F7 A# F
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run
C7
But she softly smiled and looked into
F
The sad eyes of her husband and her son
F A#
And she said so long country bumpkin
C7 F
The frost is gone now from the pumpkin
F7 A#
I've seen some sights and life's been something
C7 F
See you later country bumpkin
