Mountain Wild Man - Chris Ledoux
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 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...
