Jerry (This Timber Got to Roll)

Lyrics

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
 Well, my old Jerry is an Arkansas mule
 Been everywhere and he ain't no fool
 Work get heavy, ol' Jerry gets sore
 Pulled so much, he won't pull no more
 Cryin' timber, timber
 Lord, this timber gotta roll
 Well, the boss, he tried to shoot ol' Jerry in the head
 Jerry ducked that bullet and he stomped him dead
 Stomped that boss 'til I wanted to scream
 Should have killed him 'cause he's so mean
 Cryin' timber, timber
 Lord, this timber gotta roll
 Well, the boss kicked Jerry and made him jump
 Jerry ride and kick the boss on the rump
 My old Jerry is a 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
 Come-on you Jerry, hang your soul
 You know this timber gotta roll
 Timber, timber
