Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Old Man from the Mountain

The old man from the mountain's coming 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 coming home

I've been working in the sawmill, I'm all uptight and tense

I got wind that someone a 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 coming 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 coming home

Wind it up now!

Been working my dang fool head off all for a dollar bill

And I need a bunch of good loving so I'm comin' down the hill

Don't want no friendly Henry's warming up my bed

And the old man from the mountains means what he said

The old man from the mountain's coming 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 coming home

One more time!

The old man from the mountain's coming 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 coming home
