Old Man From The Mountain    (1974)

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
