Now, I'm a cross cut saw

Drag me 'cross yo' log

I'm a cross cut saw

Drag me 'cross yo' log

I'll cut yo' wood so easy

Can't help but say, 'hot dog'

They call me, Wood Cuttin' Slim

Call me, Wood Cuttin' Ben

But the woman I do wood cuttin' for

She wants me back, again

'Cause I'm a cross cut saw

Baby, drag me 'cross yo' log

I'll cut yo' wood so easy

Can't help but say, 'hot dog'

Yeah

'Now play it now, one time'

(guitar)

Yeah!

I'm a cross cut saw

Baby, drag me 'cross yo' log

Cut yo' wood so easy

Can't help but say, 'hot dog'

Now, I got a double bladed ax

An it sho' cuts good

Try my cross cut saw

He will eat on through the wood

'Cause I'm a cross cut saw

Baby, drag me 'cross yo' log

I'll cut yo' wood so easy

Can't help but say, 'hot dog'

Now, I'll cut yo' wood in the mo'nin

Cut yo' wood late at night

I'll cut yo' wood 'bout the time

I won't take cold or fuss an fight

'Cause I'm a cross cut saw

Baby, drag me 'cross yo' log

Yeah

I'll cut yo' wood so easy

Can't help but say, 'hot dog'.
