Timber (Jerry the Mule) |
| Got to pull this timber 'fore the sun goes down |
| Get it cross the river 'fore the boss comes 'round |
| Drag it down that dusty road |
| Come on, Jerry, let’s dump this load |
| Hollerin' timber |
| Lord, this timber’s gotta roll |
| Hollerin' timber |
| Lord, this timber’s gotta roll |
| My old Jerry was an Arkansas mule |
| Been everywhere and he ain’t no fool |
| Weighed nine hundred and twenty-two |
| Done everything a poor mule could do |
| Hollerin' timber |
| Lord, this timber’s gotta roll |
| Hollerin' timber |
| Lord, this timber’s gotta roll |
| Jerry’s old shoulder was six foot tall |
| Pulled more timber than a freight can haul |
| Work got heavy, old Jerry got sore |
| Pulled so much he wouldn’t pull no more |
| Hollerin' timber |
| Lord, this timber’s gotta roll |
| Hollerin' timber |
| Lord, this timber’s gotta roll |
| Boss hit Jerry and made him jump |
| Jerry reared up and kicked the boss in the rump |
| Now my old Jerry was a good old mule |
| If it had-a been me I’d-a killed that fool |
| The boss he tried to shoot my Jerry in the head |
| Jerry ducked the bullet and stomped him dead |
| Stomped that boss till I wanted to scream |
| Should have killed him 'cause he’s so damn mean |
| Hollerin' timber |
| Lord, this timber’s gotta roll |
| Hollerin' timber |
| Lord, this timber’s gotta roll |
| Lord, this timber’s gotta roll |
| Lord, this timber’s gotta roll |
