Sam Hill Lyrics - Merle Haggard

There's a certain hill outside of town called Sam Hill (Sam Hill) 

And a certain guy used to go there every day 

They said a certain girl lived up in Sam Hill (Sam Hill) 

Aw, a pretty girl, not hep to city ways 

This certain guy would come down the hill a smilin' 

Headed back to town at the crack of dawn 

And he had 'em all a wonderin' what he was doin' 

Yeah, wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on 

We knew this certain guy was not a goldminer (goldminer) 

'Cause he never took a shovel or a pick 

He only took a little box of candy (candy) 

And disappeared in Sam Hill mighty quick 

We tried to follow him to his destination 

But he had a secret path and soon he was gone 

And he had us all a wonderin' what he was doin' 

Yeah, wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on 

(Wonderin' what in Sam Hill's going on) 

I know that you have wondered too about Sam Hill (Sam Hill) 

You've probably asked "What in Sam Hill's goin' on?" 

All I can say in answer to your question (huh?) 

Is the goin's on are still goin' on 

This certain guy's still takin' up his candy (candy) 

He's 99 and all his youth is gone 

But he climbs that hill and still comes down a smilin' 

And we're wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on 

Wish I knew 

What in Sam Hill's goin' on 

He won't tell us' 

What in Sam Hill's goin' on 

He just snickers 

What in Sam Hill's goin' on
