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
