Timber Man

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>Many, many years ago<br/>When this land was young<br/>A lot of our country was covered<br/>By big tall beautiful trees<br/>And men had to have the trees<br/>To make wood, to build houses<br/>Make furniture with, to make boats<br/>Even to make paper with<br/>So as more and more people came<br/>More wood was needed<br/>So more and more trees<br/>Were cut down<br/>And the man that lived in the forest<br/>And cut down the trees<br/>Was called the Timber man<br/>Well, my world is green and dark and dumb<br/>My home is in the logging camp<br/>All week I cut down the mighty trees<br/>Saturday I get to do as I please<br/>I give the man more than his hire<br/>And he&#x27;ll never know it if I tire<br/>Show me the toughest tree around<br/>The Timber man will bring it down<br/>[Chorus]<br/>Swing it hard, cut it clean<br/>No halfway or in-between<br/>Move when the axe is in my hand<br/>Make way for the Timber man<br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>Yeah, he was a mighty big tough man usually<br/>That Timber man that lived in that forest<br/>And cut down those big trees<br/>Well, they say there&#x27;s sawdust in my brain<br/>And don&#x27;t get caught out in the rain<br/>I got stump water in my blood<br/>The sweat from my brow turns the ground to mud<br/>When the men don&#x27;t know how to fell a tree<br/>The one they&#x27;ll come and ask is me<br/>I&#x27;ll mark my spot and I&#x27;ll take my stand<br/>The tree&#x27;s going to fall for the Timber man<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/><br/>[Outro]<br/>And when they&#x27;re cutting on a tree<br/>And it&#x27;s just about ready to fall<br/>The man yells out timber, timber
