I went to see a farm today
in Wales, Trecastle way.
The farmer I saw
was not panning for gold,
or drilling for oil.
'I'm a Hillbilly' he called to me.
Then I thought all he wanted
was the stream in the valley,
and the wind in the cwm.
I'm not surprised
by what I saw.
This hillbilly,
not leaving his door.
I could see it in his eyes,
he's got his paradise
and as I step outside,
I see,
it's blowing down the Cwm.
