VERSE:

A/ D/ A/

I lived on a farm out in Iowa

A/ E/

I pulled the corn and I worked in the hay

A/ D/

Got trapped by a girl but I wiggled free

A E A

Heard the Oregon timber callin' me

CHORUS:

A D A

Will you tell me something Mister Lumberjack

A E

Is it one for forward and three for back

E A D/

Is it two for stop and four for go

A/ D/ A/

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:

A D A

Well you work in the woods from morin' til night

A E

You laugh and sing and you cuss and fight

E A D/

On Saturday night you go to Eugene's

A E A

And on a Sunday morin' your pockets are clean

REPEAT CHORUS
