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
