That the / Old Man from the Mountain's on his / way.

Chorus:

        / G                                         /
Been / workin' my dang fool head off, / all for a dollar bill.

Now I / need a bunch of good lovin', so / I'm comin' down the hill.
        / G                                  / C         -         G
Don't / want no friendly Henry's, / warmin' up my bed, and
      / D                                                              / G
