Текст песни Mountain Wild - 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'd 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
'Til 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 his 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 axe and a big Bowie knife and went to the mountains

Mountain wild man up on the mountain
Mountain wild man up on the mountain

Boy, I'm gonna tell you something your momma probably never told you
Just what she never told you about 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 pa is, he's that Mountain Wild Man

Mountain wild man up on the mountain
Mountain wild man up on the mountain

Mountain wild man up on the mountain
Mountain wild man-
