Country Bumpkin

Dans le style de

Cal Smith

Paroles

he walked into the bar
and parked
his lanky frame
upon a tall barstool

and with a long soft
southern drawl said
i'll just have a glass
of anything
that's cool

a barroom girl
with hard
and knowing eyes
slowly looked him
up and down

and she thought
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

it was just
a short year later
in a bed of
joy-filled tears
yet death-like pain

into this
wondrous world
of many wonders
one more wonder came

that same
woman's face
was wrapped up
in a raptured look
of love
and tenderness

as she marvelled
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 pumpkin

i've seen some sights
but babe
you're somethin'
mama 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 the 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 she said
so long
country bumpkin
the frost is gone now
from the pumpkin

i've seen some sights
and life's been
somethin'
see you later
country bumpkin

and she said
so long
country bumpkin
the frost is gone now
from the pumpkin

i've seen some sights
and life's been
somethin'
see you later
country bumpkin
