Lyrics

Bill Hilley, he's the king of the hill
Bill Hilley, he hits the sour mash swill
Bill Hilley, he made it off of the farm
Bill Hilley
Well, he's kicking up dirt out on the loose
Hee-haw high, chewing on roots
Always down for the chicken shack
And he's leaving for the city and he ain't coming back
To the do-si-do and the all through know how
Cop a field like he milks a cow
He's gone far in the land of steel
Got everybody talking about the full moon swill
Life of the party, buck knife rowdy
Slapping his knee like Lo slap Hardy
Do-si-do on the concrete lotion
He put it all in motion
Jump in the barbed wire, hop in the pool
Flintstone breaks using John Deere tools
Like Jack Clampett, jumped the claim
Bill Hilley is his name
Bill Hilley, he's the king of the hill
Bill Hilley, he hits the sour mash swill
Bill Hilley, he made it off of the farm
Bill Hilley, he's never meaning no harm
Now he ain't got the plug, he's strumming on a banjo
Oshkosh b'gosh, square dance, hoe down rodeo
And a bucket full of rocks
Passing the jug and the catfish crock pot
Hayseed with a gun like a trumpet
Barefoot drinking from a Dixie cup
Picking his teeth with an old switchblade
Lookie to the duke can twenty feet away
From the coal mine to the combine
Ransacking the shack and treating the girls fine
Day in, day out, always looking up
When he takes downtown, making sooey sounds
Now everybody on the block
Ain't wearing no shoes, ain't wearing no socks
Got the itch for the mountain way
Watching old Billy and his jug band play
Bill Hilley, he's the king of the hill
Bill Hilley, he hits the sour mash swill
Bill Hilley, he's escaped from the farm
Bill Hilley, he's never meaning no harm
Get down and disco down
Yes, get down and boogie
Bill Hilley, he's the king of the hill
Bill Hilley, he hits the sour mash swill
Bill Hilley, just lock him up in the barn
Bill Hilley
No, this is not like a trailer park
We're in a little haven right here
Some are very, very, very nice
And some of them are very, very makeshift
Mobile estates, it's the way of the future
