Say, this is the truth: There was a fella, he lived in the hills of Kentucky
This fella had never seen electric bulbs, or gas, they were way up in the hills, just lost
And we'll call him—well, actually, his name was Sam, but I didn't wanna call him Sam, might as well, that's the truth
And Sam got a trip to Brooklyn—some of his relatives passed on and sent him enough money to come to the—they had one in Brooklyn
He came, and while he was in Brooklyn, Sam was in Brooklyn, first time ever to see civilization like it was in New York, and he was just excited being in a big city, and slickers got him into playing the numbers while he was there
He was only there about a month and he played the numbers, and he hit, hit for four dollars, got all the money it was in New York for four dollars to him
And first he wanted to buy him a car right away so he could drive, and he did
And he bought a car, he drove back to the hills where they'd never seen an automobile before
And he drove up the hill where he lived, and he was going through the gate in the front door of the farm
And the farmer's son was sitting on the porch and he saw this car coming—and he'd never seen a car before
And he ran in the house and said, "Daddy, it's a monster coming in inside the gate, better get the rifle and come on outside!"
And his dad ran outside and got the rifle, came in and shot right between Sam's headlights
And Sam jumped out the car and ran up the highway, he didn't know what was wrong
And the little boy looked at his dad and said, "Dad, what kind of monster was that?"
He said, "I don't know what it was but I made it turn Sam loose"
There's a new song out, it should be quite popular, quite popular
It's called "If I Had a Nose Full of Nickels, I'd Sneeze a Fortune Your Way', probably be a good hit
Say, it was two kids bragging, and one of the kids said, "You know one thing, the King of England during the war touched my grandfather on the head and made a knight out of him"
Little boy said, "That's nothin', my aunt hit my uncle on the head with a bottle of Morgan David and made an angel out of him"
