Jerry (This Timber Go to Roll) |
Timber, timber |
Lord this timber gotta roll |
I got to pull this timber 'fore the sun go down |
Get it cross that river 'fore the boss comes 'round |
Get it on down that dusty road |
Come on Jerry let’s tow this load, |
Cryin' timber, timber Lord this timber gotta roll |
Timber, timber, Lord this timber gotta roll |
Well my old Jerry is an Arkansas mule |
Been everywhere and he ain’t no fool |
Work get heavy, ol' Jerry get sore |
Pulled so much he won’t pull no more |
Cryin' timber, timber Lord this timber gotta roll |
Timber, timber, Lord this timber gotta roll |
The boss he tried to shoot ol' Jerry in the head |
Jerry ducked that bullet and stomped him dead |
Stomped that boss till I wanted to scream |
Should have killed him 'cause he’s so mean |
Cryin' timber, timber Lord this timber gotta roll |
Timber, timber, Lord this timber gotta roll |
Well the boss kicked Jerry and made him jump |
Jerry reared and kicked the boss on the rump |
Now my old Jerry was good old mule |
Had it been me Lord I had a killed that fool |
Cryin' timber, timber Lord this timber gotta roll |
Timber, timber, Lord this timber gotta roll |
