Lyrics Lumberjack - Johnny Cash
Ride
this
train
to
Roseburg,
Oregon
Now,
there's
a
town
for
you
and
you
talk
about
rough
You
know
a
lot
of
places
in
the
country
claim
Paul
Bunyon
lived
there
But
you
should
have
seen
Roseburg
when
me
and
my
daddy
come
there
Every
one
of
them
loggers
looked
like
Paul
Bunyon
to
me
And
I
was
a
skinny
kid
about
sixteen
And
I
was
scared
to
death
when
we
walked
into
that
camp
None
of
the
lumberjacks
paid
any
attention
to
me
at
first
but
My
pa
told
the
boss
that
me
and
him
wanted
a
job
A
lot
of
'em
stopped
their
work
to
see
what
was
gonna
happen
That
big
boss
walked
around
me
looked
me
up
and
down
and
said
"Mister,
I
believe
that
boy
is
made
out
of
second-growth
timber"
and
I
guess
I
was
Everybody
but
me
and
pa
had
a
big
laugh
over
it
Pa
got
kinda
mad,
boss
finally
said,
"He
might
start
me
out
as
a
high
climber"
I
didn't
know
what
a
high
climber
was,
boy,
I
sure
learned
fast
That
steel
corded
rope
cut
my
back
and
that
axe
I
thought
it
was
gonna
break
my
arms
off
but
I
stuck
with
it
It
wasn't
long
'till
I
learned
that
a
man's
got
to
be
a
lot
tougher
than
the
timber
he's
cuttin'
Finally,
I
could
swing
that
crosscut
saw
with
the
best
of
them
I
lived
on
a
farm
out
in
Iowa
I
pulled
the
corn
and
I
worked
in
the
hay
Got
trapped
by
a
girl
but
I
wiggled
free
Heard
the
Oregon
timber
callin'
me
Will
you
tell
me
somethin',
Mr.
lumberjack
Is
it
one
for
forward
and
three
for
back
Is
it
two
for
stop
or
four
for
go?
Boy,
ask
a
whistle
punk
I
don't
know
Well
I
learned
this
fact
from
a
logger
named
Ray
You
don't
cut
timber
on
a
windy
day
Stay
out
of
the
woods
when
the
moisture's
low
Or
you
ain't
gonna
live
to
collect
your
doe
Will
you
tell
me
somethin',
Mr.
lumberjack
Is
it
one
for
forward
and
three
for
back
Is
it
two
for
stop
or
four
for
go?
Boy,
ask
a
whistle
punk,
I
don't
know
Well,
you
work
in
the
woods
from
morning
'till
night
You
laugh
and
sing
and
you
cuss
and
fight
On
Saturday
night
you
go
to
Eugene's
And
on
a
Sunday
morning
your
pockets
are
clean
Will
you
tell
me
somethin',
Mr.
lumberjack
Is
it
one
for
forward
and
three
for
back
Is
it
two
for
stop
or
four
for
go?
Boy,
ask
a
whistle
punk,
I
don't
know
