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, an' I'm all uptight and tense
I got wind that someone's been diggin' under my back fence
Thought I'd better call you, an' 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
Yeah!
I 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's means what he said
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
One more time
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
