Lyrics

[00:00.30] You gotta haul that timber before the sun goes down
[00:05.35] Drag it across the river before the boss comes around
[00:10.50] You drag it on down that dusty road
[00:15.15] Come on jerry let's haul this load
[00:19.40] Timber timber
[00:24.29] All that timber gotta roll
[00:28.72] All that timber gotta roll
[00:34.20] Now my old jerry is an arkansas mule
[00:38.49] He been everywhere and he ain't no fool
[00:42.95] He weigh nine hundred twenty two
[00:47.60] Done everything a damn mule can do
[00:51.59] Timber timber
[00:55.99] All that timber gotta roll
[01:00.25] All that timber gotta roll
[01:05.71] Now jerry's old shoulder stands a nine feet tall
[01:10.90] He pull more lumber than a freight can a haul
[01:14.16] But the work gets heavy jerry get sore
[01:18.34] Pulls so much he wouldn't pull no more
[01:22.48] Timber timber
[01:26.91] All that timber gotta roll
[01:30.29] All that timber gotta roll
[01:36.94] Boss hits jerry and he made him jump
[01:40.75] Jerry run and kick that boss in the rump
[01:44.29] Now my old jerry is a good ole mule
[01:48.15] Had of been me I would have killed that fool
[01:52.20] Timber timber
[01:56.70] All that timber gotta roll
[02:00.72] All that timber gotta roll
[02:06.50] Boss tried to shoot ole jerry in the head
[02:10.34] Jerry ducked the bullet stomped that boss a man dead
[02:13.95] Stomped that boss till he wasn't clean
[02:17.68] He should have killed him because he's so damn mean
[02:21.96] Timber timber
[02:26.29] All that timber gotta roll
[02:30.66] All that timber gotta roll
[02:35.52] You gotta haul that timber before the sun goes down
[02:40.33] Drag it across the river before the boss comes around
[02:44.26] Drag it on down that dusty road
[02:48.32] Come on jerry let's haul this load
[02:52.30] Timber timber
[02:56.81] All that timber gotta roll
[03:00.54] All that timber gotta roll
