Sam Hill

Sam Hill

There's a certain hill outside of town called Sam Hill
And a certain guy used to go there every day
They said a certain girl lived up in Sam Hill
Oh a pretty girl not have to the city ways

This certain guy would come down the hill a smilin'
A headin' back for town at the crack of dawn
And he had 'em all a wonderin' what he was doin'
Yeah a wonderin' what the Sam Hill's goin' on

We knew this certain guy was not a gold miner
Cause he never took a shovel or pick
He only took a little box of candy
And disappeared in Sam Hill mighty quick

We'd tried to follow him to his destination
But he had a secret path and soon he was gone
And he had us all a wonderin' what he was a doin'
Yeah a wonderin' what the Sam Hill's goin' on
[ guitar ] I know that you have wondered too about Sam Hill
You've prob'bly said what the Sam Hill's goin' on
All I can say and answer to your question
Is the goin's on are still goin' on

This certain guy's still takin' up his candy
He's 99 and all his youth is gone
But he climbs that hill and still comes down a smillin'
And we're a wonderin' what the Sam Hill's goin' on

Wish I knew what the Sam Hill's goin' on
He won't tell us what the Sam Hill's goin' on
