Sam Hill

Haggard Merle


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 
Aw, a pretty girl, not hep to city ways

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

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

We 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 doin' 
Yeah, wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on

I know that you have wondered too about Sam Hill 
You've probably asked
