He takes his showers under waterfalls
Wears oversized over-worn overalls
Long underwear underneath
He’s got the Cumberland Gap between his two front teeth

Get out the way here comes Willy
He’s proud to be a banjo-pickin’ hillbilly
He wouldn’t have it any other way
He’ll be running through the hills until his beard turns grey

Well he never watches the evening news
And he don’t like wearin’ hiking shoes
His old straw hat is worn n’ torn
They say he came out wearin’ it the day he was born

Get out the way here comes Willy
He’s proud to be a banjo-pickin’ hillbilly
He wouldn’t have it any other way
He’ll be running through the hills until his beard turns grey

That old Willy’s a fine old man
He washes his face in a fryin’ pan
He went out to milk and didn’t know how
So he milked the goose instead of the cow

Get out the way here comes Willy
He’s proud to be a banjo-pickin’ hillbilly
He wouldn’t have it any other way
He’ll be running through the hills until his beard turns grey
Willy’s got a wife that gets a little frilly
Puts escargot in her homestyle chili
Drinks champagne from an old canteen
She makes Willy drive the mule like a limousine

Get out the way here comes Willy
He’s proud to be a banjo-pickin’ hillbilly
He wouldn’t have it any other way
He’ll be running through the hills until his beard turns grey
