Now, I'm a cross cut saw

Drag me 'cross yo' log

I'm a cross cut saw

And drag me 'cross yo' log

Babe, I'll cut yo' wood so easy

You can't help but say, 'hot dog'

They call me, Wood Cuttin' Sam

Call me, Wood Cuttin' Ben

But the woman I did wood cuttin' for

She wants me back, again

'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'

I got a double bladed ax

An it sho' cuts good

But try my cross cut saw

He'll 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

You can't help but say, 'hot dog'

Now, look-a-here, mama

Ya you stay last night?

Said, 'It ain't none a yo' bid'ness

You don't do me right'

'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, when ya go to fishin', now

Don't forget the pole

You, you's a good girl

But you ain't been out long

I'm a cross cut saw

Ooh baby, ease me cross yo' log

I'll cut yo' wood so easy

Can't help but say, 'hot dog'

'I'll play us a little.'

(guitar to end)
