Merle Haggard

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. more »

There's a certain hill outside of town called Sam Hill (Sam Hill)
And a certain guy used to go there every day 
They said a certain girl lived up in Sam Hill (Sam Hill)
Aw, a pretty girl, not hep to city ways

This certain guy would come down the hill a smilin'
Headed back to town at the crack of dawn
And he had 'em all a wonderin' what he was doin' 
Yeah, wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on

We knew this certain guy was not a goldminer (goldminer)
'Cause he never took a shovel or a pick 
He only took a little box of candy (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 doin' 
Yeah, wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on
(Wonderin' what in Sam Hill's going on)

I know that you have wondered too about Sam Hill (Sam Hill)
You've probably asked "What in Sam Hill's goin' on?" 
All I can say in answer to your question (huh?)
Is the goin's on are still goin' on

This certain guy's still takin' up his candy (candy)
He's 99 and all his youth is gone 
But he climbs that hill and still comes down a smilin' 
And we're wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on 
Wish I knew 
What in Sam Hill's goin' on 
He won't tell us' 
What in Sam Hill's goin' on 
He just snickers 
What in Sam Hill's goin' on
