Lumberjack |
For my woman |
I was a lumberjack |
For my woman |
I broke my back |
I never knew she had her fun |
While I worked in the blistering sun |
Making great big old trees |
Into little bitty ones |
Rain or shine, sleet or snow |
I couldn’t say no |
Feeling food, feeling bad |
I had to go |
Ain’t funny what a kiss |
And a great big smile can do |
When a woman ain’t worth |
The heel off a good man’s shoe |
Then came the day |
She ran away with her man |
While I worked, she stole my pick |
This was a fine |
I gave my heart and my soul |
She left me here to hold |
A grieving hand and an aching back |
I’m a broken hearted man |
Just a weary lumberjack |
