Sawyer Lyrics

Sawyer, sawyer
You cut me so deep
My woman and children hang their heads down and weep

When the timber come callin? them off o? the track
Young boys go wanderin? and broken men come back

Oxen, oxen
You drove me so dry
I thirst for that coal smoke whisperin? to me in the sky

Foreman, forman
You worked me so long
The whole of my youth drowned in that ol? mill pond

Timber, timber
Devil in the pines
My Savior awaits a little further down the line
