1
He walked into the bar
2
And parked his lanky frame upon a tall barstool
3
And with a long soft Southern drawl said
4
"I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool"
5
A bar room girl with hard and knowing eyes
6
Slowly looked him up and down
7
And she thought, "I wonder how on earth
8
That country bumpkin found his way to town"
9
She said, "Hello, country bumpkin
10
How's the frost out on the pumpkin?
11
I've seen some sights but man, you're some thin'
12
Where'd ya come from, country bumpkin?"
13
It was just a short year later in a bed
14
Of joy-filled tears yet death-like pain
15
Into this wondrous world of many wonders
16
One more wonder came
17
That same woman's face was wrapped up
18
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
19
As she marveled at the soft and warm
20
And cuddly boy-child feeding at her breast
21
And she said, "Hello, country bumpkin
22
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin
23
I've seen some sights but babe, you're some thin'
24
Mama loves her country bumpkin"
25
Forty years of hard work later in a simple
26
Quiet and peaceful country place
27
The heavy hand of time had not erased
28
The raptured wonder from the woman's face
29
She was lying on her deathbed
30
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run
31
But she softly smiled and looked
32
Into the sad eyes of her husband and her son
33
And she said, "So long, country bumpkin
34
The frost is gone now from on the pumpkin
35
I've seen some sights and life's been some thin'
36
See you later, country bumpkin"
37
She said, "So long, country bumpkin
38
The frost is gone now from on the pumpkin
39
I've seen some sights and life's been some thin'
