Old Man From The Mountain Lyrics - 40 #1 Hits - Merle Haggard

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 

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, 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 

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 Henrys 

Warmin' up my bed 

And the old man from the mountains means what he said 

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 

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
