Guru Lyrics by Rail Yard Ghosts

2011

[Verse 1]
Old man on the mountain top
Tell me where did you sleep last night
I found you under the old willow tree
Drunk off homemade wine
Drunk off homemade wine

[Verse 2]
Old man where'd your pretty wife leave
So heard your sheep old man
I found you smokin' out a homemade pipe
Made from old tin cans
Made from old tin cans
Contemplate your exit stance

[Verse 3]
Old man with your toothless grin
And your half drank bottle of gin
What is the reason that you exist
Oh, where do I begin
Where do I begin

[Chorus]
Old man on the mountain top
(Old man)
Old man, old man, old man
(on the mountain top)
Old man on thе mountain top
(Old man)
Old man, old man, old man
(on the mountain top)
Old man, old man, old man

[Verse 4]
Old man dry you flowers dry
Go put them in your pipе
Old man on a mountain top
Tell me where did you sleep last night
Where did you sleep last night

[Verse 5]
Old man teach me your song
Tell me where do your secrets come from
Can you put them underneath my pillow so soft
I'll bury them in my lungs
I'll bury them in my lungs

[Verse 6]
Old man when the winter comes
Oh how will you survive
Make a fire out of old birch trees
And drink that warm moonshine
Drink that warm moonshine

[Chorus]
Old man on the mountain top
(Old man)
Old man, old man, old man
(on the mountain top)
Old man on the mountain top
(Old man)
Old man, old man, old man
(on the mountain top)
Old man, old man, old man

[Verse 7]
Old man in your olive groves
Salty grapes growing on the vine
How did you grow them trees so tall
Tall as evergreen pines
Tall as evergreen pines
