| Lyrics: | Timber (Jerry The Mule)
Got to pull this timber 'fore the sun goes down,
Get it
cross the river 'fore the boss comes 'round,
Drag it down that old dusty road,
Come on,
Jerry, let's dunp this load,
cho: Hollerin' timber! (timber!)
Lord, this
timber's gotta roll.
My old Jerry was an Arkansas mule
Been everywhere and he ain't
no fool.
Weighed nlne hundred and twenty-two,
Done everything a poor mule can
do...
Jerry's old shoulder was six foot tall,
Pulled more timber than a freight can
haul,
Work got heavy, Ol' Jerry got sore,
Pulled so much he wouldn't pull no
more...
Boss hit Jerry and made him jump,
Jerry reared up and kicked that boss in the
rump,
Now my old Jerry was a good old mule,
If it had-a been me I'd-a killed that
fool...
The boss he tried to shoot my Jerry in the head,
Jerry ducked the bullet and
stomped him dead,
Stomped that boss till I wanted to scream,
Should have killed him
myself, he was so danm mean...
