Country Bumpkin Lyrics - Singles - Cal Smith

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 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" 

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 ya 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 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 pumpkin 

I've seen some sights but, babe, you're somethin' 

Mamma 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 deathbed, 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 

Frost is gone now from on the pumpkin 

I've seen some sights and life's been somethin' 

See you later, country bumpkin" 

She said "So long, country bumpkins 

The frost is gone now from on the pumpkin 

I've seen some sights and life's been somethin'
