Lumberjack

For my woman

I was a lumberjack

For my woman

I broke my back

I never knew she had her fun

While I worked in the blistering sun

Making great big old trees

Into little bitty ones

Rain or shine, sleet or snow

I couldn't say no

Feeling food, feeling bad

I had to go

Ain't funny what a kiss

And a great big smile can do

When a woman ain't worth

The heel off a good man's shoe

Then came the day

She ran away with her man

While I worked, she stole my pick

This was a fine

I gave my heart and my soul

She left me here to hold

A grieving hand and an aching back

I'm a broken hearted man

Just a weary lumberjack
