E
He walked up to the bar and parked his
E7 A E
Lanky frame upon a tall barstool
B7
And with a long soft southern drawl said
E
I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool
E
C# barroom girl with hard and knowing eyes
E7 A E
Slowly looked him up and down
B7
And she thought I wonder how on earth
E
That country bumpkin found his way to town
E7 A
And she said hello country bumpkin
B7 E
How's the frost out on the pumpkin
E7 A
I've seen some sights but man you're something
B7 E
Where'd you come from country bumpkin
E
It was just a short year later in a bed
E7 A E
Of joy-filled tears yet death-like pain
B7
Into this wondrous world of many wonders
E
One more wonder came
E
That same woman's face was wrapped up
E7 A E
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
B7
As she marveled at the soft and warm
E
And cuddly boy child feeding at her breast
E A
And she said hello country bumpkin
B7 E
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin
E7 A
I've seen some sights but babe you're something
B7 E
Mama loves her country bumpkin
E
Forty years of hard work later
E7 A E
In a simple quiet and peaceful country place
B7
The heavy hand of time had not erased
E
The raptured wonder from the woman's face
E
She was lying on her death bed
E7 A E
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run
B7
But she softly smiled and looked into
E
The sad eyes of her husband and her son
E A
And she said so long country bumpkin
B7 E
The frost is gone now from the pumpkin
E7 A
I've seen some sights and life's been something
B7 E
See you later country bumpkin
