He walked into the bar and parked his lanky frame upon a tall barstoolAnd 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 downAnd she thought "I wonder how on earthThat 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 painInto this wondrous world of many wonders one more wonder cameThat same woman's face was wrapped upIn a raptured look of love and tendernessAs she marveled at the soft and warm and cuddly boy-child feeding at her breastAnd 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 placeThe heavy hand of time had not erased The raptured wonder from the woman's faceSongtexteShe was lying on her deathbed knowing fully well her race was nearly runBut she softly smiled and looked into the sad eyes of her husband and her sonAnd she said "So long, country bumpkin""The 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 bumpkin""The frost is gone now from on the pumpkin"FADE"I've seen some sights and life's been somethin'" Aus Songtexte Mania
