Old Man on the Mountain

Old Man on the Mountain

I'm going to tell you a story
I don't really know how it goes
Just that same old story
About how people get bought and sold

Talking about an old man
Talking about an old man on the mountain
He just had a burro
And a gunny sack of gold

He came down from that mountain
He came down to the town
He brought that gold with him
To see what was going down

He went down to that valley
He went down to that town
He went down to the merchant
He went down to the man
He went down to the man
He said, "I got some gold for you."
They said, "We'll do the best we can."

They took a little money
They took a little gold
They took a little body
They took a little soul

The old Man came down from the mountain
He wanted to find what folks was all about
What they was all about
He'd been up there on the mountain
Some thought he was checking out

He gave them all his money
He gave them all his gold
TThey didn't settle for his body
They didn't settle for his soul

He gave them all his money
He gave them all his gold
They didn't settle for his body
They didn't settle for his soul

Talking about an old Man on the mountain
