Lyrics: Sam Hill

(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 hep to city ways.

This certain guy would come down the hill a smilin'
Headin' 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 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 doin'
Yeah, wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on
(Wonderin' what the 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
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 the Sam Hill's goin' on
He won't tell us what the Sam Hill's goin' on...
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
