Country Bumpkin |
He walked into the bar |
And parked his lanky frame upon a tall bar stool |
With a long soft southern drawl |
Said, «I'll just have a glass of anything that’s cool» |
A barroom girl with wise and knowing eyes |
Slowly looked me up and down |
And she said, «I wonder how on earth |
That country bumpkin found his way to town» |
And she said, «Hello, country bumpkin |
How’s the frost out on the pumpkin? |
I’ve seen some sights but man you’re somethin' |
Where’d you come from country bumpkin?» |
Just a short year later in a bed of joy |
Filled tears and death like pain |
Into this wondrous world of many wonders |
Another wonder came |
That same woman’s face was wrapped up In a raptured look of love and tenderness |
As I marveled at the soft and warm |
And cuddly boy child, feeding at her breast |
And she said, «Hello, country bumpkin |
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkins |
I’ve seen some sights but babe you’re somethin' |
Mommy, loves her country bumpkin» |
Forty years, of hard work later |
In a simple, quiet and peaceful country place |
The heavy hand of time had not erased |
The raptured wonder from my woman’s face |
She was lying on her death bed |
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run |
But she softly smiled and looked into |
The sad eyes of her husband and her son |
And I said, «So long country bumpkins |
The frost is gone now from the pumpkins |
I’ve seem some sights and life’s been somethin' |
See you later country bumpkins» |
See you later country bumpkins |
