(And let's ride this train to Roseburg, Oregon
Now there is a town for you Roseburg, Oregon
I was a skinny kid, I just wanna hurt somebody seeing
So, that was a skinny kid about 16 when me and pa come to Roseburg
Said I wanted to get me a job working in a Big Tree isn't that balsy
He looked me up and down and he told me told me and pa he said
"Mr. I believe that boy of yours is made out of second growth timbre"
I guess I was
He said, he said, " Let's start him up as a hack climber breaking man easy"
Breaking man easy, yeah
That steel corded rope cut the back of that axe was gonna break my arms off but I stepped with it
One long till I learnt that the man has got be a whole lot tougher than the timber he's cutting
Pretty soon as swinging that cross cut with the bastion)
I lived on a farm out in Iowa
I pulled the corn and I worked in the hay
I got trapped by a girl but I wiggled free
I heard the Oregon timber callin' me
Won't you tell me somethin' Mr. Lumberjack?
Is it one for forward and three for back?
Is it two for stop and four for go?
He said, "Boy ask a whistle punk I don't know"
Well I learned this fact from a logger named Ray
That you don't cut timber on a windy day
And stay out of the woods when the moisture's low
Or you ain't gonna live to collect your doe
Won't you tell me somethin' Mr. Lumberjack?
Is it one for forward and three for back?
Is it two for stop and four for go?
He said, "Boy ask a whistle punk I don't know"
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
Won't you tell me somethin' Mr. Lumberjack?
Is it one for forward and three for back?
Is it two for stop and four for go?
He said, "Boy ask a whistle punk I don't know"
Now there is a town for you Roseburg, Oregon
