Written and recorded by Merle Haggard [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]

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

So I called you on the phone

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

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]

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
