[Verse 1]
GHe walked into the bar and parked his lanky frame uCpon a tall barsGtool
With Da long soft Southern drawl said
"I'll just have a glass of anything that's cGool"
GA bar room girl with hard and knowing eyes slowly lCooked him up and doGwn
And she thoCught "I wonder how on earth
That cDountry bumpkin found his way to Gtown"
[Chorus]
She said "Hello, country bumCpkin"D  
"How's the frost out on the puGmpkin?"
"I've seen some sights but, man, you're soCmethin'"D  
"Where'd ya come from, country bGumpkin?"
[Verse 2]
It was just a short year later in a bed of joy-filled teCars yet death-like pGain
DInto this wondrous world of many wonders one more wonder Gcame
GThat same woman's face was wrapped up
In a raptured look of lCove and tendGerness
DAs she marveled at the soft and warm and cuddly boy-child feeding at her bGreast
[Chorus]
And she said "Hello, country bCumpkin"D  
"Fresh as frost out on the pumGpkin"
"I've seen some sights but, babe, you're somCethin'"D  
"Mama loves her country buGmpkin"
[Verse 3]
Forty years of hard work later in a simple, quiet and peCaceful country pGlace
The hDeavy hand of time had not erased
The raptured wonder from the woman's fGace
She was lying on her deathbed knowing fully well her rCace was nearly rGun
But she soDftly smiled and looked into the sad eyes of her husband and her Gson
[Chorus]
And she said "So long, country bumCpkin"D  
"The frost is gone now from on the pumGpkin"
"I've seen some sights and life's been soCmethin'"D  
"See you later, country bumpGkin"
She said "So long, country bumpCkin"
"The frost is gone now from on the puGmpkin"
"I've seen some sights and life's been somCethin'"D  
"See you later, country buGmpkin"
