Hillbilly Queen

 

C
I Long to see my Hillbilly Queen
                                             G7
That buxom young girl who cried for James Dean
C
I yearn to return to those days in the loft
                                      G7
Clumsy, embarrassing, tender, and lost.
F          G                   C           C7
Hillbilly Queen in the hayloft
G                                C          C7
Hillbilly Queen on the hill
F                                            C              F6
Where are you now, I would like to find out.
        
C               G              C        G7
I will wait till the gasoline’s filled.

You see, I was a travel in' salesman
Rovin' around the country sellin' my wares
Runnin' from responsibilities I’d failed at
In some big city named who cares
Knockin' on doors by day
Sleepin' in my car by night
And in between the modest pleasures
I’d chance on down the line
So I hit this town, distracted, daydreaming

Pulled into a station to get some gas

Bought an orange juice and a mounds bar
Took off my shades an looked around

What caught my eye hit me like a kick from a mule

For I’d been so tuckered, strung out, disconnected

I didn't even realize where I was
Till my eye caught the roof of grandad’s barn
An I looked at it there, unbelieving, astonished, mortified
Neath the Safeway sign by the hotdog stand
Yond a parking lot with traffic all round
And I said to myself deed I am back
In my own in my own hometown
And then I commenced to cryin'

And would of cried all afternoon
Had I not remembered the teenagers fair

That I would sweet with in that barn there
I remembered those clandestined trysts

The hot summer days and each lovely miss
And then sorta soft I sang myself this

  

I’d like to see my Succotash Sal

Not very subtle but always a pal

It was down by the bayou we forgot right and wrong

Our teachers and parents and hydrogen bombs

Hillbilly Queen in the hayloft, Succotash Sal in the Swamp

Where are you now I would like to find out
       
C                                     Am Ab7       C                G7          C
I will wait by the gasoline pump – I will wait by the gasoline pump.

Ratu Hillbilly

 
Aku rindu untuk melihat Ratu Hillbillyku

Gadis muda montok yang menangis untuk James Dean

Aku rindu untuk kembali ke hari-hari itu di loteng

Canggung, memalukan, lembut, dan tersesat.


Ratu Hillbilly di loteng jerami

Ratu Hillbilly di atas bukit

Di mana kau sekarang, Aku ingin mencari tahu.

Aku akan menunggu sampai bensin terisi.


Kau tahu, Aku adalah seorang pedagang keliling

Keliling negara menjual barang daganganku

Lari dari tanggung jawab Aku gagal

Di beberapa kota besar yang tidak peduli apa pun

Mengetuk pintu di siang hari

Tidur di mobilku di malam hari

Dan di antaranya menikmati kesenangan sederhana yang ada

Jadi Aku tiba di kota ini, terganggu, melamun

Menuju ke stasiun untuk mendapatkan bensin

Berjalan keluar, membeli jus jeruk dan permen cokelat,

Membuka kaca mata hitamku dan melihat sekeliling

Apa yang menarik perhatianku memukulku seperti tendangan seekor bagal

Karena Aku telah begitu lelah, letih bingung,

Aku bahkan tidak menyadari di mana Aku berada

Sampai mataku menangkap atap gudang kakek

Dan Aku melihatnya di sana, tidak bisa dipercaya, heran, sangat malu

Di bawah tanda Safeway supermarket di dekat stand hotdog

Di luar tempat parkir dengan lalu lintas di mana-mana

Dan aku berkata pada diriku sendiri, aku kembali

Di kampung halamanku sendiri

Dan kemudian Aku mulai menangis

Dan akan menangis sepanjang sore

Jika saja Aku tidak ingat gadis cantik

Bahwa Aku akan berromansa di gudang itu

Aku ingat pertemuan rahasia itu

Hari-hari musim panas dan setiap gadis cantik

Dan kemudian agak lembut Aku menyanyikan ini


Aku ingin melihat Sekatash Sal
Tidak terlalu halus tapi selalu menjadi teman
Di rawa kita lupa benar dan salah
Guru dan orang tua kami dan bom hidrogen

Ratu Hillbilly di loteng jerami, Sukatash Sal di Rawa
Dimana kalian sekarang aku ingin mencari tahu
Aku akan menunggu di dekat pompa bensin
Aku akan menunggu di dekat pompa bensin
