Old Man From The Mountain Lyrics

(Merle Haggard)

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 up-tight and tense
And I got word that someone's been diggin' under my back fence
Thought I'd better call you, better 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.

Been workin' my dang fool head off all for a dollar bill
And I need a bunch of good lovin' so I'm comin' down the hill
Don't want no friendly henry's warmin' up my bed
And the old man from the mountain 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, you 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...
