The Old Man On The Mountain — текст песни

Recorded by:

Al Bowlly, Cab Calloway, Phil Harris,

The Mills Brothers, Fred Waring, Lee Wiley.

With his long white beard and his crooked step

He tramps along where the folks all left

With a twinkle in his eye he passes them by The old man of the mountain

He wears long hair but his feet are bare

They say he’s mad as an old march hare

His cares are none and he owes no one

The old man of the mountain

He talks with the birds when he’s lonely

Sleeps with the stars for a tent

While the bees spread a feast when he’s hungry

And God charges no rent

He’ll live as long as an old oak tree

And laugh at fools like you and me I often sigh and wish that I were The old man of the mountain.
