Jerry Lee Lewis - Herman The Hermit Lyrics
High on the mountainA man sat a-countin'All the rocks he had found the dayHe lived all alone 'cause theDoggone lone-gettin'-rocks was all he cravedThey said he was lazy and just too crazyTo face the world outsideBut they didn't know all the rocks were goldAnd Herman was the richest little man aroundHerman the hermitHas to get the permitTo get his long hairs cutPretty girls scared himNever went near him'til one day on a mountain highAlong came a creature with a lot of pretty picturesAnd made old Herman kisses rocks goodbyeShe carried him to town just to show him aroundAnd dressed him in the latest crazeWhile he clipped his hair,You know, she slipped downstairsAnd had them rocks appraisedNow she was told they were solid goldThe wheels started spinning aroundThe morning paper read: "Ole Herman dropped dead"And now she's the richest little woman in town.Herman the hermitHas to get the permitTo get his long hairs cutPretty girls scared himNever went near him'til one day on a mountain highAlong came a creature with a lot of pretty picturesAnd made old Herman kisses rocks goodbye
