King Of The Cannon County Hills

(アルバム： The Carroll County Accident - 1969)

Folks tell me I should go to the city
And 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

Well, I know that the possum likes persimmons
And I know that fishes breathe out through their gills
So while I can kill a squirell 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

Well, the 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 just 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

Now I'm not saying don't go to college
Cause knowledge sure will cure a lot of ills
But I know this little song is a getting 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
I'm the king of the Cannon County hills
