C 
He walked up to the bar and parked his 
  
      C7      F            C 
Lanky frame upon a tall barstool 

           G7 
And with a long soft southern drawl said 

                                          C 
I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool 

  
C                                                  
A barroom girl with hard and knowing eyes 
  
C7     F                 C 
Slowly looked him up and down 

        G7 
And she thought I wonder how on earth 
  
                                      C 
That country bumpkin found his way to town 

  
             C7            F 
And she said hello country bumpkin 
   
G7                         C 
How's the frost out on the pumpkin 

               C7                    F 
I've seen some sights but man you're something 

G7                               C 
Where'd you come from country bumpkin 

  
C  
It was just a short year later in a bed 

   C7         F                    C 
Of joy-filled tears yet death-like pain 

  G7 
Into this wondrous world of many wonders 

                C 
One more wonder came 

  
C           
That same woman's face was wrapped up 

              C7      F              C 
In a raptured look of love and tenderness 

       G7 
As she marveled at the soft and warm 

                                    C 
And cuddly boy child feeding at her breast 

  
C                          F 
And she said hello country bumpkin 

G7                        C 
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin 

               C7                     F 
I've seen some sights but babe you're something 

G7                     C 
Mama loves her country bumpkin 

  
C                                            
Forty years of hard work later 
  
            C7        F                C 
In a simple quiet and peaceful country place 

          G7 
The heavy hand of time had not erased 

                                     C 
The raptured wonder from the woman's face 

  
C                                              
She was lying on her death bed 
  
              C7       F               C 
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run 

        G7 
But she softly smiled and looked into 

                                    C 
The sad eyes of her husband and her son 

  
C                             F 
And she said  so long country bumpkin 

G7                             C 
The frost is gone now from the pumpkin 

               C7                     F 
I've seen some sights and life's been something 

G7                    C 
See you later country bumpkin
