[Verse 1]
[D]Mountain Man
For I was even old enough
to count to ten
[G]Cause you start your kind of young hauling logs,
chopping timber
[D]When you're growing [G]up to
be a mountain [A]man
Clearing timber off your
pappy's bottom land
[D]Well, [G]mountain man, mou[D]ntain man
[A]Lived his life by the [D]code of the clan
[G]You make your way just the
best [D]way you can
When you're raised up to
[G]be a mountain [A]man
God -fearing,
hard -working mountain [D]man
Well, I fell across a creek,
went and bought a silver flipper
A 1934 sedan,
[G]he traded it to Paul
for a [D]sow with the litter
And my [E]Pappy [G]was a mighty happy man
[A]Cause he sta[D]rted running moonshine
down to the city
A feller had no money there to pay
But the [G]revenuers caught him,
put him in the [D]county jail
And they kept him there a [G]year and a [A]day
On the work day and gettin' no [D]pay
[G]Well, Mountain Man, [D]Mountain Man,
[A]lived his life by the [D]code of the Klan
[G]You make your way just the
best [D]way you can
When you're raised up to
[G]be a mountain [A]man
God -fearing, heart -breaking mountain [D]man
An old hermit up the ridge
took a shot at the preacher
A bullet ricocheted and
hit his thumb
Everybody [G]got together
and they prayed [D]for the preacher
But the [E]doctor [G]had to [E]amputate his [A]thumb
So the God -fear[D]ing neighbors
all formed a little posse
And they cornered that
hermit on the bridge
Then they [G]hung him by his toes
till his nose started [D]bleedin'
Then they chased him out of [G]sight
across the [A]ridge
Just to kick him up his heels
across the [D]ridge
[G]Well, mountain man, [D]mountain man
[A]Lives his life by the [D]code of the Klan
You [G]make your way
just the best [D]way you can
When you're raised up to
[G]be a mountain [A]man
Caught very hard kickin' mountain [D]man
[G]Yes, mountain man, [D]mountain man
[A]Lives his life by the [D]code of the Klan
[G]You make your way,
just the best way you [D]can,
when you're raised up to
[G]be a mountain [A]man.
Got a beard and heart like a mountain man.
