I was there when the men came, told us all the news Father forgive them for they know not what they do 'Til they walk a while, a country mile In my Hillbilly Shoes You want to judge me by the whiskey on my breath You think you know me but you ain't seen nothin' yet 'Til you walk a while, a country mile In my Hillbilly Shoes In my Hillbilly Shoes You can work all day in the muck and the mire Dance a little jig then stomp by the fire Ain't too much these boots can't do Might even kick a little sense into you Well I'm goin' up Cripple Creek, going at a run Going up Cripple Creek to have a little fun Lawman say's they found some tracks People saw 'em leaving but they never come back Oh, you don't know me You don't know, you don't know, you don't know 'Til you walk a while, a country mile In my Hillbilly Shoes In my Hillbilly Shoes
