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
Aw, a pretty girl not hep to city ways
This certain guy would come down the hill a-smiling Heading back to town at the crack of dawn And he had them all a-wonderin´ what he was doing Yeah, wondering what in Sam Hill´s going on We knew this certain guy was not a gold miner ´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 doing Yeah, 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 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
