Cal Smith - Country Bumpkin Chords

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
