Lyrics Sam Hill - Jimmy Dean

(Tommy Collins)

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
Oh, a pretty girl not have the city ways.

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

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

We'd 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, a wonderin' what the Sam Hill's goin' on.

I know that you have wondered too about Sam Hill
You've prob'bly asked what the Sam Hill's goin' on
All I can say and answer to your question is the goin'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 smillin'
And we're wonderin' what the Sam Hill's goin' on
Wish I knew what the Sam Hill's goin' on
He won't tell us what the Sam Hill's goin' on...
