Herman The Hermit

歌詞

High on the mountain A man sat a-countin' All the rocks he had found the day He lived all alone 'cause the Doggone lone-gettin'-rocks was all he craved They said he was lazy and just too crazy To face the world outside But they didn't know all the rocks were gold And Herman was the richest little man around Herman the hermit Has to get the permit To get his long hairs cut Pretty girls scared him Never went near him 'til one day on a mountain high Along came a creature with a lot of pretty pictures And made old Herman kisses rocks goodbye She carried him to town just to show him around And dressed him in the latest craze While he clipped his hair, You know, she slipped downstairs And had them rocks appraised Now she was told they were solid gold The wheels started spinning around The morning paper read: "Ole Herman dropped dead" And now she's the richest little woman in town. Herman the hermit Has to get the permit To get his long hairs cut Pretty girls scared him Never went near him 'til one day on a mountain high Along came a creature with a lot of pretty pictures And made old Herman kisses rocks goodbye
