Sawmill

In the style of

Mel Tillis

Lyrics

well once i was
a slave at the sawmill
you talk about
a poor boy
talk about a poor boy
never saw
a dollar bill

well my work was
so hard at the sawmill
think about a poor boy
think about a poor boy
when you go to
write your will

well see
my teardrops
fallin' down
my wife left
this sawmill town

she said sawmill life
had been a sin
'cause the gravy
was too thin

i can't work no more
at the sawmill
mercy on a poor boy
mercy on a poor boy
let me have
a dollar bill

if you
bring your wife
to the sawmill

well how you gonna
please her
how you gonna
please her
when she wants
a dollar bill

they're not satisfied
at the sawmill
women like a dollar
women like a dollar
yes and
women always will

see my teardrops
fallin' down
my wife left
this sawmill town

she said
the sawmill life
had been a sin lord
'cause the gravy
was too thin

i can't work no more
at the sawmill
mercy on a poor boy
mercy on a poor boy
let me have
a dollar bill

mercy on a poor boy
mercy on a poor boy
let me have
a dollar bill
