Lyrics

TUMBLE ON THE MOUNTAIN

I've been going around to my backdoor darlin's
Had to tell 'em that I'm leavin' town
Fussed and whined that I was doin' 'em wrong
But I'm gonna have to let 'em down
Cause I've been out on the high ridge lookin' about
And I've finally found what I want
Found me a wild cat woman
And I'm gonna make her scream and shout

| Yeah there's something in the way she cocks her ears
| And in the way she bares her teeth
| Makes me love her from the top of her tangled hair
| To the toes of her dirty bare feet
| If I ever get my hands on that woman
| Never gonna let her slip away
| And we're gonna tumble on the mountain
| Till that wild cat comes to stay
| Tumble on the mountain till that wild cat comes to stay

Way on up on Black Tooth mountain
There's a woman name of Mary Jolene
She's the stubbornest woman I've ever met
But she's the purtiest I ever seen
She can hiss like a cat when cornered
She can purr like a warm soft kitten
She shows her nails when she gets riled
But her wild ways have me smitten
