Old Man from the Mountain (Re-Recorded)

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' homeI'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, yeahThe 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, nowBeen 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 saidThe 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
