Johnny Cash Lumberjack Lyrics

L. Payne
/ = single strum
Key: Bb / CAPO: 1st / Play: A
VERSE:
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
CHORUS:
Will you tell me something Mister Lumberjack
Is it one for forward and three for back
Is it two for stop and four for go
Boy ask the whistle punk I don't know
VERSE:
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 dough
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE:
Well you work in the woods from morin' til night
You laugh and sing and you cuss and fight
On Saturday night you go to Eugene's
And on a Sunday morin' your pockets are clean
REPEAT CHORUS
