Herman, The Hermit - Jerry Lee Lewis

High on the mountain\nA man sat a-countin'\nAll the rocks he had found the day\nHe lived all alone 'cause the\nDoggone lone-gettin'-rocks was all he craved\nThey said he was lazy and just too crazy\nTo face the world outside\nBut they didn’t know all the rocks were gold\nAnd Herman was the richest little man around\nHerman the hermit\nHas to get the permit\nTo get his long hairs cut\nPretty girls scared him\nNever went near him\n'til one day on a mountain high\nAlong came a creature with a lot of pretty pictures\nAnd made old Herman kisses rocks goodbye\nShe carried him to town just to show him around\nAnd dressed him in the latest craze\nWhile he clipped his hair,\nYou know, she slipped downstairs\nAnd had them rocks appraised\nNow she was told they were solid gold\nThe wheels started spinning around\nThe morning paper read: «Ole Herman dropped dead»\nAnd now she’s the richest little woman in town.\nHerman the hermit\nHas to get the permit\nTo get his long hairs cut\nPretty girls scared him\nNever went near him\n'til one day on a mountain high\nAlong came a creature with a lot of pretty pictures\nAnd made old Herman kisses rocks goodbye
