Country Bumpkin chords by Jimmy Arthur Ordge
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(G major) He walked into the bar
and parked his lanky frame
upon (C major) a tall barstool. (G major)
And with a long (D major) sub Southern drawl said
I'll just have a glass of anything that's (G major) cool
A barroom girl with heart
and knowing eyes
slowly looked (C major) him up and (G major) down
And she thought (D major) I wonder
how on earth
my country bumpkin
found his way to (G major) town
And she said, hello, country bumpkin (C major)
How's (D major) the frost out on the (G major) pumpkin?
I've seen some sights,
man, you're (C major) something
Where'd (D major) you come from,
country bump (G major) kin?
It was just a short year later,
in a bed of joy filled (C major) tears,
yet death like (G major) pain.
Into (D major) this wondrous world
of many wonders,
one more wonder came. (G major)
That same woman's face was wrapped up
in a raptured look of (C major) love and tenderness. (G major)
(D major) As she marveled at the soft and
warm and cuddly boy child
feeding at her breast. (G major)
And she said, hello,
country bumpkin, (C major) (D major)
Freshest frost out on the (G major) pumpkin.
I've seen some sights, you're (C major) something.
(D major) Mama loves her country bumpkin. (G major)
Forty years of hard work later,
In a simple, quiet,
and (C major) peaceful country place (G major)
The heavy hand (D major) of time had not erased
The raptured wonder from
that woman's (G major) face
She was lying on her deathbed,
knowing fully well
Her (C major) race was nearly run (G major)
But she softly (D major) smiled and looked into the
sad eyes of her husband and (G major) her son.
She said, so long country bumpkin, (C major)
(D major) frost is gone now from the (G major) pumpkin.
I've seen some sights
and life's been (C major) something.
(D major) See you later, country bump (G major) kin.
She said, so long, country bumpkin. (C major)
(D major) The frost is gone now from the (G major) pumpkin.
I've seen some sights,
and life's been some (C major) thing.
(D major) See you later, country bumpkin.
