Porter Wagoner - King of the Cannon County Hills lyrics

Folks tell me I should go to the city and go to school and learn a lot of things But I already know what makes the fox fire glow And just what time the robbin redbreast sings Well I know that the possum likes persimmons And I know that fishes breathe out through their gills So while I can k** a squirell and court the sweetest girl I'm the king of the Cannon County hills Let the senor have his senorita let the hippy have his LSD and thrills But when I'm with my darling in the mountains I'm the king of the Cannon County hills Well the things I know you cannot learn in college And I don't need cash cause I ain't got no bills I can tell you in a flash just how long to cook your mash And the best come from the Cannon County hills Let the senor have his senorita... ( fiddle - el.banjo ) Now I'm not saying don't go to college cause knowledge sure will cure a lot of ills But I know this little song is a gettin' away too long Come and see me in the Cannon County hills Let the senor have his senorita... I'm the king of the Cannon County hills
