HERMAN THE HERMIT As recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis (From the 1965 Album THE RETURN OF ROCK) [Intro] [Verse 1] High on the mountain A man sat a-countin’ All the rocks he had found the day He lived all alone ’cause the Doggone lone-gettin’-rocks was all he craved They said he was lazy and just too crazy To face the world outside But they didn’t know all the rocks were gold And Herman was the richest little man around [Chorus] Herman the hermit Has to get the permit To get his long hairs cut Pretty girls scared him Never went near him ’til one day on a mountain high Along came a creature with a lot of pretty pictures And made old Herman kisses rocks goodbye [Interlude] [Piano Solo] [Verse 2] She carried him to town just to show him around And dressed him in the latest craze While he clipped his hair You know she slipped downstairs And had them rocks appraised Now she was told they were solid gold The wheels started spinning around The morning paper read: "Ole Herman dropped dead" And now she’s the richest little woman in town [Chorus] Herman the hermit Has to get the permit To get his long hairs cut Pretty girls scared him Never went near him ’til one day on a mountain high Along came a creature with a lot of pretty pictures And made old Herman kisses rocks goodbye

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'Herman, un homme qui vit en ermite sur une montagne, obsédé par sa collection de pierres qu'il pense être banales. Les gens de son village le jugent, le qualifiant de fainéant, sans comprendre que ses "rochers" sont en réalité des pépites d'or. Un jour, une jeune femme vient dans sa vie, l'emmenant en ville et le transformant. Malheureusement, son bonheur est de courte durée, car après avoir découvert la valeur de ses pierres, Herman meurt, laissant sa fortune à cette femme qui, au final, devient la plus riche de la ville. Cette histoire souligne à quel point les apparences peuvent être trompeuses et que l'on peut passer à côté de véritables trésors, tant matériels que spirituels.
