Lyrics Sam Hill - Merle Haggard , The Strangers
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
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
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
wonderin'
what
he
was
doin'
Yeah,
wonderin'
what
in
Sam
Hill's
goin'
on
(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
goin's
on
are
still
goin'
on
This
certain
guy's
still
takin'
up
his
candy
(Candy)
He's
99
and
all
his
youth
is
gone
But
he
climbs
that
hill
and
still
comes
down
a
smilin'
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
