Recorded by: Merle Haggard
Writer: Merle Haggard

CHORUS
[G] The Old Man From The Mountain's 
Comin' home, home, home
Thought I'd better warn you 
So I [A] called you on the [D] phone
Get [G] rid of Joe the grinder
You [C] better be there a-[G] lone
'Cause the Old Man From The [D] Mountain's 
Comin' [G] home.

[G] I've been a-workin in the sawmill
I'm [C] all up-tight and [G] tense
And I got word that someone's 
Been [A] diggin' under my back [D] fence
Thought [G] I'd better call you
[C] Let you know to-[G] day
That the Old Man From The [D] Mountain's 
On his [G] 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
