Country Bumpkin

G                                                  C              G
He walked into the bar and parked his lanky frame upon a tall barstool
     D
With a long soft Southern drawl said
                                            G
"I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool"
G                                                  C                  G
A bar room girl with hard and knowing eyes slowly looked him up and down
           C
And she thought "I wonder how on earth
      D                               G
That country bumpkin found his way to town"

[Chorus]
                            C    D
She said "Hello, country bumpkin"
                              G
"How's the frost out on the pumpkin?"
                                          C       D
"I've seen some sights but, man, you're somethin'"
                                G
"Where'd ya come from, country bumpkin?"

[Verse 2]
                                                        C                   G
It was just a short year later in a bed of joy-filled tears yet death-like pain
D                                                        G
Into this wondrous world of many wonders one more wonder came
G
That same woman's face was wrapped up
                       C           G
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
D                                                                         G
As she marveled at the soft and warm and cuddly boy-child feeding at her breast

[Chorus]
                              C      D
And she said "Hello, country bumpkin"
                              G
"Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin"
                                            C       D
"I've seen some sights but, babe, you're somethin'"
                          G
"Mama loves her country bumpkin"

[Verse 3]
                                                        C               G
Forty years of hard work later in a simple, quiet and peaceful country place
     D
The heavy hand of time had not erased
                                      G
The raptured wonder from the woman's face
                                                      C               G
She was lying on her deathbed knowing fully well her race was nearly run
          D                                                               G
But she softly smiled and looked into the sad eyes of her husband and her son

[Chorus]
                                  C       D
And she said "So long, country bumpkin"
                                      G
"The frost is gone now from on the pumpkin"
                                         C         D
"I've seen some sights and life's been somethin'"
                            G
"See you later, country bumpkin"
                               C
She said "So long, country bumpkin"
                                     G
"The frost is gone now from on the pumpkin"
                                          C        D
"I've seen some sights and life's been somethin'"
                          G
"See you later, country bumpkin"
