lyrics

there's a little old man in the back of the world
wears rings on his pockets and rings on his shoes
with a little green pipe in a little wood case
full of peppermint leaves for a wintery taste

in a cave on the mountain where the old man lives
is a store of lean meat, cake, and gin,
a shelf of books and a bed of cotton
he's happy for the weather, not what money's got him

a ring for all the games he's lost
and all the girls he's double crossed
all from the town he's run away
but in the still you hear him say

eating corn and rye from a plate of gold
he loves the cool, damp, wet, hot, cold
he licks his finger, finds the wind
and wanders into bed again
