Brook Benton - Lumberjack lyrics

rate me

For my woman<br />

I was a lumberjack<br />

For my woman<br />

I broke my back<br />

<br />

I never knew she had her fun<br />

While I worked in the blistering sun<br />

Making great big old trees<br />

Into little bitty ones<br />

<br />

Rain or shine, sleet or snow<br />

I couldn't say no<br />

Feeling food, feeling bad<br />

I had to go<br />

<br />

Ain't funny what a kiss<br />

And a great big smile can do<br />

When a woman ain't worth<br />

The heel off a good man's shoe<br />

<br />

Then came the day<br />

She ran away with her man<br />

While I worked, she stole my pick<br />

This was a fine<br />

<br />

I gave my heart and my soul<br />

She left me here to hold<br />

A grieving hand and an aching back<br />

I'm a broken hearted man<br />

Just a weary lumberjack
