I lived on a farm out in Iowa I pulled the corn and I worked in the hay
Got trapped by a girl but I wiggled free heard the Oregon timber callin` me
Will you tell me somethin` Mr Lumberjack is it one for forward and three for back
Is it two for stop or four for go boy ask a whistle punk I don`t know
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 doe
Will you tell me somethin`...
Well you work in the woods from morning till night
You laugh and sing and you cuss and fight
On Saturday night you go to Eugene`s and on a Sunday morning your pockets are clean
Will you tell me somethin`...
