Sam Hill Songtext
von Jimmy Dean

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 is 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 tried to follow him to his destination
But he found a secret path and soon he was gone
And he had us all a-wonderin' what he was a-doin′
Oh, we is a-wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin′ on

I know that you too have wondered ′bout Sam Hill (Sam Hill)
You probably said "What in Sam Hill's goin′ on?"
Well, all I can say in 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 ninety-nine 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 good idea what in Sam Hill's goin′ on
I ain't gonna tell nobody what in Sam Hill′s goin' on
I wish he'd tell us what in Sam Hill′s goin′ on
