There we were in an eastern basement
Waiting for the parcel to come
Mountain man made a solemn promise
Heading your way, see you at one
There we were without a replacement
Constant calls that never got through
Mountain man said if things run smoothly
Getting back home, first stroke of two
Still we sat, the look on our face meant
How much longer? Where can he be?
Mountain man on a stack of bibles
No way I'll be later than three
No way I'll be later than three
He's coming 'round, the mountain man
He's coming 'round, the mountain man
He's coming 'round, the mountain man
He's coming 'round, the mountain man
Round the fire at the swordsman's hideout
Praying he's the next through the door
Mountain man weighed down by his traffic
Taking back roads, see you at four
Round the fire very nearly dried out
Laying bets on when he'll arrive
Mountain man stopping off for benzing
Cops allowing, ETA five
Dying fire, all the numbers tried out
Getting scratchy, mind playing tricks
Mountain man shouting French hail Marys
Trying my best, looking like six
He's coming 'round, the mountain man
He's coming 'round, the mountain man
He's coming 'round, the mountain man
He's coming 'round, the mountain man
He's coming 'round, the mountain man
He's coming 'round, the mountain man
He's coming 'round, the mountain man
He's coming 'round, the mountain man
