A D A I lived on a farm out in Iowa A E I pulled the corn and I worked in the hay A D Got trapped by a girl but I wiggled free A E A Heard the Oregon timber calling me [Chorus] A D A Will you tell me something, Mr. Lumberjack? A E Is it one for forward and three for back? A D Is it two for stop or four for go? A A Boy, ask a whistle punk, I don't know [Verse 2] A D A Well, I learned this fact from a logger named Ray A E You don't cut timber on a windy day A D Stay out of the woods when the moisture's low A E A Or you ain't gonna live to collect your dough [Chorus] A D A Will you tell me something, Mr. Lumberjack? A E Is it one for forward and three for back? A D Is it two for stop or four for go? A E A Boy, ask a whistle punk, I don't know [Verse 3] A D A Well you work in the woods from morning to night A E You laugh and sing and you cuss and fight A D On Saturday night you go to Eugene A E A And on a Sunday morning, your pockets are clean [Chorus] A D A Will you tell me something, Mr. Lumberjack? A E Is it one for forward and three for back? A D Is it two for stop or four for go? A A Boy, ask a whistle punk, I don't know
