Old Man from the Mountain
The old man from the mountain's comin' home, home, home
Thought I'd better warn you
So I called you on the phone
Get rid of Joe the grinder
You better be there alone
'Cause the old man from the mountain's comin' home
I've been a-workin' in the sawmill
I'm all uptight and tense
And I got wind that someone's
Been diggin' under my back fence
Thought I'd better call you
And let you know today
That the old man from the mountain's on his way, yeah
The old man from the mountain's comin' home, home, home
Thought I'd better warn you
So I called you on the phone
Get rid of Joe the grinder
You better be there alone
'Cause the old man from the mountain's comin' home, wind it up, now
Been workin' my dang fool head off
All for a dollar bill
Now I need a bunch of good lovin'
So I'm comin' down the hill
Don't want no friendly Henrys
Warmin' up my bed
And the old man from the mountains means what he said
The old man from the mountain's comin' home, home, home
Thought I'd better warn you
So I called you on the phone
Get rid of Joe the grinder
Better be there alone
'Cause the old man from the mountain's comin' home, one more time!
The old man from the mountain's comin' home, home, home
Thought I'd better warn you
So I called you on the phone
Get rid of Joe the grinder
You better be there alone
'Cause the old man from the mountain's comin' home
