Your rating:
Got to pull this timber 'fore the sun goes down Get it cross the river 'fore the boss comes 'round Drag it down that old dusty road Come on, Jerry, let's dunp this load Hollering timber! Lord, this timber's gotta roll Hollering timber! Lord, this timber's gotta roll My old Jerry was an Arkansas mule Been everywhere and he ain't no fool Weighed nlne hundred and twenty-two Done everything a poor mule can do Hollering timber! Lord, this timber's gotta roll Hollering timber! Lord, this timber's gotta roll Jerry's old shoulder was six foot tall, Pulled more timber than a freight can haul, Work got heavy, Ol' Jerry got sore, Pulled so much he wouldn't pull no more Hollering timber! Lord, this timber's gotta roll Hollering timber! Lord, this timber's gotta roll Boss hit Jerry and He made him jump Jerry reared up and kicked that boss in the rump Now my old Jerry was a good old mule If it had-a been me I'd-a killed that fool The boss he tried to shoot my Jerry in the head Jerry ducked the bullet and stomped him dead Stomped that boss till I wanted to scream Should have killed him myself, he was so danm mean Hollering timber! Lord, this timber's gotta roll Hollering timber! Lord, this timber's gotta roll...
