Sam Hill

There's a certain hill outside of town called Sam Hill (Sam Hill)

And a certain guy used to go there every day

They say a certain girl lived up in Sam Hill (Sam Hill)

Oh, a pretty girl not hip to city ways

This certain guy'd come down that hill a-grinnin'

Yeah, headin' back to town at the crack of dawn

And he had 'em all a-wonderin' what he was a-doin'

Yeah, we's a-wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on

Now, we knew this certain guy was not a gold miner

'Cause he never took a shovel or a pick

All he ever took was a little box of candy

Man, but he disappeared from Sam Hill awful quick

We'd tried to follow him to his destination

But he'd found a secret path, and soon he's gone

And he had us all a-wonderin' what he was a-doin'

Oh, we's a-wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on

I know that you, too, have wondered 'bout Sam Hill (Sam Hill)

You've probably said, "What in Sam Hill's goin' on?"

Well, all I can say and answer to your question

Is, friend, the goin's on is still a-goin' on

That certain guy's still a-takin' up that candy

Though he's 99 and all his youth is gone

He climbs that hill and still comes down a-grinnin'

Oh, but we're a-wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on

Got a pretty got idea what in Sam Hill's goin' on

I ain't gon' tell nobody what in Sam Hill's goin' on

I wish he'd tell us what in Sam Hill's goin' on
