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
Aw, a pretty girl, not hep to city ways

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

I know that you have wondered too about Sam Hill
You've probably asked, "What in Sam Hill's goin' on?
All I can say in answer to your question
Is the going'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 smiling
And we're wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on
Wish I knew
What in Sam Hill's goin' on
He won't tell us
What in Sam Hill's goin' on
He just snickers
What in Sam Hill's goin' on
