Timber Ho! Lyrics - Phish

I'm gonna pull this timber `fore the sun go down 

Get it `cross the river `fore the bars come down 

Drag it on down that dusty road 

Come on Jerry, let's dump this load 

I said "Timber, ho!", timber, woah this timber's gotta roll 

I said "Timber, ho!", timber, woah this timber's gotta roll 

My old Jerry was an Arkansas mule 

Been everywhere and he ain't no fool 

Weighed nine hundred and twenty-two 

Done everything a poor mule can do 

(chorus) 

Jerry's shoulders stood six foot tall 

Pulled more timber than a freight could haul 

Workin' heavy old Jerry got sore 

Pulled so much he couldn't pull no more 

(chorus) 

The boss said "Jerry" and it made him jump 

Jerry ran and kicked the boss on the rump 

My old Jerry was a cool mule 

Had it been me I woulda killed that fool 

Boss tried to shoot old Jerry in the head 

Jerry took that bullet and he stomped him dead 

Stomped that boss til he heard him scream 

Sure don't care he was so damn mean 

(chorus 2x)
