A Hillbilly Gets New Carpet
A Hillbilly Gets New Carpet
By Elton Camp
I got a magazine at th’ thrift store
Give an idea I didn’t have before
Rich folks carpets their whole floor
So th’ planks you can’t see no more
I saved my money fer a long while
And decided to give carpet a trial
Hit’s a good thing our house is small
Three rooms, an’ we covered it all
Hit’s so soft and warm to my feet
To git up mornings is now a treat
No wind through cracks ’n th’ floor
I’se so glad I went to th’ carpet store
So, I don’t think I’se putting on airs
To add th’ carpet to th’ porch stairs
Hope nobody will think I’se a louse
If I runs it all the way to th’ outhouse
