[00:00.000]	作曲 : Unknown Unknown
[00:00.575]	It's up the raft to the lumber camp
[00:02.854]	With a sick and aching head;
[00:05.132]	I've blowed another winter's stake,
[00:07.706]	And got the jims instead
[00:09.253]
[00:10.095]	It seems I'll never learn the truth
[00:12.898]	That's written plain as day,
[00:15.141]	The more they try to welcome you
[00:17.108]	The more they make it pay
[00:19.357]
[00:19.923]	It's "blanket-stiff" and "jungle-hound,"
[00:21.894]	And "pitch him out the door,"
[00:23.858]	"Howdy, Jack, old-timer,"
[00:26.102]	When you've got the price for more.
[00:28.349]
[00:29.468]	Oh, the boat is rocky,
[00:32.218]	And I ain't got a bunk
[00:33.621]	Not a rare of cheering liqueur,
[00:35.586]	Just a turkey full of junk.
[00:36.986]
[00:38.108]	And it's all of my possessions,
[00:39.794]	Is what I can carry 'round,
[00:42.601]	I've blowed the rest on skid-roads,
[00:44.846]	Of a hundred gyppo towns.
[00:46.254]
[00:47.380]	And it's "lumberjack" and "timber-beast,"
[00:49.633]	And "Give these bums a ride,"
[00:51.879]	"Have one on the house, old boy,"
[00:53.844]	When you're stepping with the tide.
[00:55.800]
[00:57.507]	Oh the chokers will be heavy,
[00:59.471]	Just as heavy, just as cold,
[01:01.717]	When the hooker gives the high-ball,
[01:03.963]	And we start to dig for gold.
[01:06.488]
[01:06.768]	And I'll curse the skid-road up and down,
[01:09.013]	With its rotten, drunken tune,
[01:11.533]	But then, of course, I'll up and make
[01:13.495]	Another trip next June.
[01:16.312]
[01:16.589]	It's "blanket-stiff" and "jungle-hound,"
[01:18.553]	And "pitch him out the door,"
[01:20.802]	"Howdy, Jack, old-timer,"
[01:22.766]	When you've got the price for more.
