Lumberjack Lyrics - Ride This Train - Johnny Cash

I lived on a farm out in Iowa 

I pulled the corn and I worked in the hay 

Got trapped by a girl but I wiggled free 

Heard the Oregon timber callin' me 

Will you tell me somethin' Mr lumberjack 

Is it one for forward and three for back 

Is it two for stop or four for go? 

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 doe

Will you tell me somethin' Mr lumberjack 

Is it one for forward and three for back 

Is it two for stop or four for go? 

Boy ask a whistle punk I don't know 

Well you work in the woods from morning till night 

You laugh and sing and you cuss and fight 

On Saturday night you go to Eugene's 

And on a Sunday morning your pockets are clean
