Lumberjack Lyrics by Johnny Cash

(from the album Ride This Train)

Lumberjack Lyrics

I lived on a farm out in Iowa I pulled the corn and I worked in the hay

Got trapped by a girl but I wiggled free heard the Oregon timber callin' me

Will you tell me somethin' Mr Lumberjack is it one for forward and three for back

Is it two for stop or four for go boy ask a whistle punk I don't know

Well I learned this fact from a logger named Ray you don't cut timber on a windy day

Stay out of the woods when the moisture's low

Or you ain't gonna live to collect your doe

Will you tell me somethin'...

Well you work in the woods from morning till night

You laugh and sing and you cuss and fight

On Saturday night you go to Eugene's and on a Sunday morning your pockets are clean

Will you tell me somethin'...
