[Chorus]
G
The old man from the mountain's coming home home home
Thought I'd better warn you
A7 D7
So I called you on the phone
G C G
Get rid of Joe the grinder, you better be there alone
D7 G
'Cause the old man from the mountain's coming home
[Verse 1]
G
I've been a-working in the sawmill
C G
I'm all uptight and tense
And I got wind that someone's
A7 D7
Been digging under my back fence
G C G
Thought I'd better call you, let you know today
D7 G
That the old man from the mountain's on his way
[Chorus]
G
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

[Verse 2]
G
Been working my dang fool head off all for a dollar bill
Now I need a bunch of good loving
A7 D7
So I'm coming down the hill
G C G
Don't want no friendly Henrys warming up my bed
D7 G
And the old man from the mountain means what he said
[Chorus]
G
The old man from the mountain's coming home home home
Thought I'd better warn you
A7 D7
So I called you on the phone
G C G
Get rid of Joe the grinder, you better be there alone

'Cause the old man from the mountain's coming home

The old man from the mountain's coming home home home
Thought I'd better warn you

Get rid of Joe the grinder, you better be there alone
