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

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...
