    I was married 54 years to a Kentucky Country Bumpkin and I'd happily do another 54 if God would only give him back to me, I'll never know a kinder, hard working, honest, gentler, soft spoken, loving man. If you can find one treasure him. There aren't many out there. ❤ to the country bumpkins. ❤

    I was a child when this song was new.Always liked it. Cal Smith and George Jones had the best voices for country music. In my opinion, country music took a nose dive since 1990. No singer today can take the place of the greats from all decades before 1990.

    As a 10 year old boy when this song first came out has little to no affect on you, leaving you wondering why all the old folks were sad hearing it. Well a short 45 years later I no longer have to wonder why it tears your heart out looking back and watching your own Mama on her death bed as she passes. She may not have been a bar room girl with hard and knowing eyes, she was the just kindest sweetest person that I never once had a bad thought about. It is sad when they are no longer with us but looking back at 100% great memories surely makes it less sad.

    Once in a great, great while a song is written that is simple but yet a beautiful combination of lyric and melody. This song is one of those. A tip of the hat to Cal Smith and a big salute to Don Wayne, who wrote the song.
    According to wikipedia, Cal is alive and well and spends a lot of time fishing with his wife in Branson, Missouri. I wonder if he ever sings this to her while fishing under some cool shade? I bet he does.

    A fourth child learns to be patient. When Baby Jim would fuss early in the morning, I would stop by his crib to sing, "Hello, country bumpkin." After I signaled, he stopped fussing and waited. Hurriedly I'd brush my teeth, change his diaper, and take him in the living room to snuggle and nurse him. "Country Bumpkin" was "our song." Jim grew up and moved away. At 38, he was diagnosed with cancer, was eventually forced to come home. In our song, after 40 years, the dying mama sings, "So long, country bumpkin." Jim and I are not staying with the script, but we are saying good-bye. Music marks all our lives. Tonight I am especially grateful for this piece.

    Love this song. It reminds me of my grandparents. My grandma is still here, don't know what I'd do without her, but my grandpa just passed away last month. We didn't have much of a relationship because he lived in a different state and barely came to visit, but one thing I knew about him was that he could play country music on his guitar like no other. And he loved to see the world; probably why he drove trucks for a living. I'll miss him.
