lyrics

went upon a mountain, that's when he went hog wild
ran across a bobcat that really got him riled
took a dive in a swimming hole with a toothpick in his heal
gets up every morning and reinvents the wheel

here he comes, and there he goes
where he stops, no one knows

don't know much of nothing, but there's nothing he don't see
caught him in the act one time he went upon a spree
sometimes on a full moon he seems a normal chum
but don't you strike a match because he might be full of rum

here he comes, and there he goes
where he stops, no one knows

step right up and see this real country man
can't you see he's doing the best that he can
best not get too close, but look him up and down
give him what you've got and watch him go to town

well some folks think he's clever, while others think he's dumb
some say how he's cultured, some say he's a bum
he don't mind the gossip, he just turns the other cheek
the bad things slide right off him in just about a week

here he comes, and there he goes
where he stops, no one knows

way down in a cave on day he found a silver streak
mined million dollars but he loaned it to a geek
let his hair grow long then he cut it off to sell
every day at supper time you'll hear him ring his bell

here he comes, and there he goes
where he stops, no one knows

step right up and see a real country man
can't you see he's doing the best that he can
best not get too close, but look him up and down
give him what you've got and watch him go to town
