Testo Timber - Odetta
Testo della canzone Timber (Odetta), tratta dall'album The Tradition Masters
You gotta haul that timber 'fore the sun goes down
Drag it 'cross the river 'fore the boss come around
You drag it on down that dusty road
Come on, Jerry, let's haul this load
Timber, timber
Oh, the timber gotta roll
Oh, the timber gotta roll
Now, my old Jerry is an Arkansas mule
He been everywhere, and he ain't no fool
He weigh nine hundred twenty-two
Done everything a damn mule can do
Timber, timber
Oh, the timber gotta roll
Oh, the timber gotta roll
Now, Jerry's old shoulder stands nine feet tall
He pulled more lumber than a freight can haul
But when it gets heavy, Jerry gets sore
Pull so much he wouldn't pull no more
Timber, timber
Oh, the timber gotta roll
Oh, the timber gotta roll
Boss hitched Jerry and he made him jump
Jerry run and kicked that boss in the rump
Now, my old Jerry is a good old mule
If I was in me, I woulda killed that fool
Timber, timber
Oh, the timber gotta roll
Oh, the timber gotta roll
Boss tried to shoot old Jerry in the head
Jerry ducked the bullet, stomped that boss man dead
Stomped that boss 'til he wasn't clean
He shoulda killed him 'cause he's so damn mean
Timber, timber
Oh, the timber gotta roll
Oh, the timber gotta roll
You gotta haul that timber 'fore the sun goes down
Drag it 'cross the river 'fore the boss come around
You drag it on down that dusty road
Come on, Jerry, let's haul this load
Timber, timber
Oh, the timber gotta roll
Oh, the timber gotta roll
