| The Old Man From The Mountain's |
| Comin' home, home, home |
| Thought I'd better warn you |
| A | D | |
| So I | called you on the | phone |

| Get | rid of Joe the grinder |
| C | G | |
| You | better be there a- | lone |
| D | |
| 'Cause the Old Man From The | Mountain's |
| G | |
| Comin' | home. |
| G | |
| I've been a-workin in the sawmill |
| C | G | |
| I'm | all up-tight and | tense |
| And I got word that someone's |
| A | D | |
| Been | diggin' under my back | fence |
| G | |
| Thought | I'd better call you |
| C | G | |
| Let you know to- | day |
| D | |
| That the Old Man From The | Mountain's |
| G | |
| On his | way. |
| CHORUS |
| 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 |
| Means what he said. |
| CHORUS |
