CHORUS
G
The Old Man From The Mountain's
Comin' home, home, home
Thought I'd better warn you
A D
So I called you on the phone
G
Get rid of Joe the grinder
C G
You better be there a- lone
D
'Cause the Old Man From The Mountain's
G
Comin' home.
G
I've been a-workin in the sawmill
C G
I'm all up-tight and tense
And I got word that someone's
A D
Been diggin' under my back fence
G
Thought I'd better call you
C G
Let you know to- day
D
That the Old Man From The Mountain's
G
On his way.
CHORUS
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 henry's
Warmin' up my bed
And the Old Man From The Mountain
Means what he said.
CHORUS
