  A#                      D#  A#
I lived on a farm out in Iowa
  A#                                   F
I pulled the corn and I worked in the hay
      A#                             D#
Got trapped by a girl but I wiggled free
          A#             F       A#
Heard the Oregon timber calling me

Chorus:
  A#                             D#     A#
Will you tell me something, Mr. Lumberjack?
  A#                         F
Is it one for forward and three for back?
       A#                      D#
Is it two for stop or four for go?
 A#                      D#        A#
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 dough

Chorus

Well you work in the woods from morning to night
You laugh and sing and you cuss and fight
On Saturday night you go to Eugene
And on a Sunday morning, your pockets are clean

Chorus
