Did You Hear About Jerry |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Great God almighty was the workin' man’s friend |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| I gotta pull this timber 'fore the sun go down |
| Headed cross that river 'fore the boss come 'round |
| Drag it on down that dusty road |
| Come on Jerry let’s tote that load |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Did you hear about Jerry, |
| Well my old Jerry is a Arkansas mule |
| Been everywhere and he ain’t no fool |
| Work get heavy old Jerry get slow |
| Pull so much he won’t pull no mo' |
| Cry timber, timber, Lord this timber’s gotta roll |
| Timber, timber, Lord this timber’s gotta roll |
| Well the boss kicked Jerry and he made him jump |
| Jerry ridin' kick that boss on the rump |
| My old Jerry is a good old mule |
| Had-a been me Lord, I’d a kill that fool |
| Cry timber, timber, Lord this timber’s gotta roll |
| Timber, timber, Lord this timber’s gotta roll |
| Well the boss tried to shoot old Jerry in the head |
| Jerry ducked the bullet and he stomped him dead |
| Stomped that boss 'til I wanted to scream |
| Should-a killed him 'cause he’s so damn mean |
| Cry timber, timber, Lord this timber’s gotta roll |
| Timber, timber, Lord this timber’s gotta roll |
