Sam Hill

Sam Hill - Merle Haggard

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

Sam Hill

And a certain guy used to go there every day

They said a certain girl lived up in Sam Hill

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 wondering

What he was doing

Yeah wondering what in Sam Hill's going on

We knew this certain guy was not a gold miner

Gold miner

Cause he never took a shovel or a pick

He only took a little box of candy

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 wondering

What he was doing

Yeah wondering what in Sam Hill's going on

Wondering what in Sam Hill's going on

I know that you have wondered

Too about Sam Hill

You've probably asked

What in Sam Hill's going on

All I can say in answer to your question

Is the goin's on are still going on

This certain guy's still taking up his candy

Candy

He's 99 and all his youth is gone

But he climbs that hill

And still comes down a smiling

And we're wondering what in Sam Hill's going on

Wish I knew

What in Sam Hill's going on

He won't tell us

What in Sam Hill's going on

He just snickers

What in Sam Hill's going on
