Mountain Wild Lyrics & Tabs by Chris LeDoux
Mountain Wild
guitar chords lyrics
There was a man that lived in the hills all by himself
Chin whiskers' hangin' off his face in the tree there's a hangin' Bull Elk
The only friend he's got in this world is a big old Wild Cat
That sleeps down at the foot of the cave kills off the big rats
I think I'ed like to see this guy well I might just maybe
But everybody in the little bitty town they say he's crazy
I asked a fellow what the story was asked him just what happeded
He said boy sit down let me tell you about this mountain wild man
Mountain wild man up on the mountain
Mountain wild man up on the mountain
He had a job and a wife and a little bitty boy and things were just fine
Till he caught that woman out a runnin' around and
it kinda messed up his mind
So he went to the bar and he had a few drinks and he did a lot of thinking
He could either kill that cheatin' woman or drown his sorrows drinking
it kinda messed up his mind
So he went to the bar and he had a few drinks and he did a lot of thinking
He could either kill that cheatin' woman or drown his sorrows drinking
Well he knew he couldn't kill that cheatin' woman or
they'd put him in a prison
And his heart and pride were too damn strong for him to go to drinking
So he broke the bonds of society and started walkin'
He bought a rifle and an ax and a big Bowie knife and went to the mountains
Mountain wild man...
Boy I'm gonna tell you something your momma probably never told you
Just what she never told you bout your pa and why he left you
Now you've heard the story of why he left this land
Well boy I know who your p's is he's the Mountain Wild Man
Mountain wild man...
