Tom T Hall Hello Country Bumpkin Lyrics

He walked into the bar
And parked his lanky frame
Upon a tall barstool

And 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 b__pkin
Found his way to town

She said, hello, country b__pkin
Hows the frost out on the pumpkin
I've seen some sights
But, man, you're something
Where'd you come from, country b__pkin

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 b__pkin
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin
I've seen some sights
But, babe, you're something
Mamma loves her country b__pkin

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 b__pkin
The frost is gone now from the pumpkin
I've seen some sights
And life's been something
See you later, country b__pkin

She said, so long, country b__pkin
The frost is gone now from the pumpkin
I've seen some sights
And life's been something....
