King of the Cannon County Hills

歌詞

Folks tell me I should go to the city Go to school and learn a lot of things But I already know what makes the fox fire glow And just what time the robbin redbreast sings I know that the possum likes persimmons And I know that fishes breathe out through their gills While I can kill a squirrel and court the sweetest girl I'm the king of the Cannon County hills Let the senor have his senorita Let the hippy have his LSD and thrills But when I'm with my darling in the mountains I'm the king of the Cannon County hills And I know just where the groundhog sleeps in the winter I can tell by its' leaves what kind of tree I can tell you in a minute the kind of --------- what is in it And I know just how to line a honey bee Things I know you cannot learn in college And I don't need cash cause I ain't got no bills I can tell you in a flash how long to cook your mash And the best come from the Cannon County hills Let the senor have his senorita Let the hippy have his LSD and thrills But when I'm with my darling in the mountains I'm the king of the Cannon County hills Well I know how the crickets do their singing I know how a firefly makes his light I know how to spot ginsing and how to make a banjo twang And how a blind owl can see at night Now I'm not saying don't go to college Cause knowledge it can cure a lot of ills But I know this little song is a gettin' away too long Come and see me in the Cannon County hills Let the senor have his senorita Let the hippy have his LSD and thrills But when I'm with my darling in the mountains I'm the king of the Cannon County hills
