There's a certain hill outside of town called Sam Hill And a certain guy used to go there every day They said a certain girl lived up in Sam Hill Aw a pretty girl not hep to city ways This certain guy would come down the hill a grinning Headed back to town at the crack of dawn And he had 'em all a wondering what he was doing Yeah wondering what in Sam Hill's going on We knew this certain guy was not a gold miner Cause he never took a shovel or a pick He only took a little box of 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 wondering what he was doing Yeah wondering what in Sam Hill's going on I know that you have wondered too about Sam Hill You've probably asked what in Sam Hill's going on All I can say in answer to your question Is the goings on are still going on This certain guy's still taking up his candy He's 99 and all his youth is gone But he climbs that hill and still comes down a grinning And we're wondering what in Sam Hill's going on What in Sam Hill's going on
