Paroles de Old Man On The Mountain

It was late one night, I pulled off
to the side of the road
in my dreams, I wandered
off in the woods

walked up this lonesome hillside
where a quarry had been
past an old graveyard
and an old stone kiln
I saw a rustic cottage
an old man lived there
high up on this mountain
with no one else around
so how we got to talking
I sat with him and drank
we told each other stories
I sung a song I'd learned

whiskey, oh whiskey
has made a retch of me
but oh, the harm
whatever I have done
I done it out of fear
whiskey, oh whiskey

it was then he told a story of men had surpassed
any expectations
the devil ever had

the bottle, it was empty
it wasn't worth a damn
I started down this mountain
where no one was around
