[G]
He walked into the bar and parked his lanky [C] frame upon a tall [G] barstoop.
And [D] with a long, soft southern drawl said, I'll just have a glass of [G] anything that's good.
A barroom girl with hardened knowing eyes [C] slowly looked him up [G] and down.
And she [D] thought, I wonder how on earth that country pumpkin found [G] his way to town.
And she said, hello [C] country pumpkin,
[Am] [D] how's the frost out on [G] the pumpkin?
I've seen some sights, [C] but man you're [Em] something.
[D] Where'd you come from [G] country pumpkin?
It was just a short year later, in a bed of [C] joy filled tears, yet [G] death like pain.
[D] In through this wondrous world of many wonders, one more [G] wonder came.
That same woman's face was wrapped up in a raptured [C] look of love and [G] tenderness.
As [D] she marveled at the soft and warm and cuddly boy child [G] feeding at her breast.
And she said, hello [C] country pumpkin,
[D] precious frost out on [G] the pumpkin.
I've seen some sights, [C] but babe you're something.
[G] [D] Mama loves her [G] country pumpkin.
Forty years of hard work laid in a simple, [C] quiet and peaceful [G] country place.
The [D] heavy hand of time had not erased the raptured wonder from the [G] woman's face.
She was lying on her deathbed knowing fully well [C] her race was nearly [G] run.
[D] But she softly smiled and looked into the sad eyes of her husband [G] and her son.
And she said, so long country [C] pumpkin,
[G] [D] the frost is gone now [G] from the pumpkin.
I've seen some sights and [C] life's been something.
[Am] [G]
[D] See you later [G] country pumpkin.
She said, so long [C] country pumpkin, [D] the frost is gone [G] now from the pumpkin.
I've seen some sights and [C] life's been something.
[D] See you later country [G] pumpkin.
