Cab Calloway - The Old Man Of The Mountain lyrics

(Lew Brown / Victor Young) With his long white beard and his crooked step He tramps along with the folks all left (?) With a twinkle in his eye he pa**es 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 =========================== The Old Man Of The Mountain Music by Victor Young, Words by Billy Hill With his long white beard and a crooked staff He tramps along while the folks all laugh; With a twinkle in his eye, he pa**es them by; The Old Man of the Mountain He wears long hair and his feet are bare; They say he's mad as an old march hare But his cares are none, he owes no one The Old Man of the Mountain He talks with the birds when he's lonely; He sleeps with the stars for a tent 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 Oh, I often sigh and wish that I Were the Old Man of the Mountain =========================== With a long, white beard and a crooked stare He tramps along with the folks all scared; With a twinkle in his eye, he pa**es them by The Old Man of the Mountain! Oh, he wears long hair and his feet are bare They say he's mad as a grizzly bear His cares are none and he fears no one The Old Man of the Mountain! He talks with the bears when he's lonely He sleeps with the sky for a tent And he'll eat you up when he's hungry And it wouldn't cost him a red cent! And he'll live as long as an old oak tree He'll eat up fools like you and me Oh, I often sigh and jump and cry At the Old Man of the Mountain!
