There's also a follow up song for this this one, (i.e. THE ANSWER to the man that comes around) done by tucker time.

The answer:

The Man Don't Come to Our House Anymore

The man that came to our house
That used to bring the ice.
He was the niceset ice man that ever brought our ice.
But he came so very often, when my Pappa wasn't there,
That Pop put out a "No Ice Sign" and bought a Frigidaire!

Chorus:

Oh, the man don't come to our house anymore
He used to come around, and knock upon the door,
We still live where we always did before,
But the man don't come to our house anymore


On the man that came to our house
that used to bring the milk
He walked right throught the door
'cause he talked as smooth as silk.

.... sorry, can't remember the rest

I had a recording for both the original and the answer, done by tucker time, but I misplaced it after moving out of an apartment, many years back.
