Lyrics You Made Tooth Picks of the Timber of My Heart - June Carter Cash
For
a
backwoods
gal
was
she
And
for
chopping
down
a
tree
I
was
handy
with
an
ax
and
I
was
smart
But
I
should
have
passed
you
by
When
you
waved
and
hollered
(Chester:
hi!)
You
made
toothpicks
of
the
timber
of
my
heart
When
you
promised
to
be
mine
I
cut
90
logs
of
pine
For
a
cabin
in
our
little
world's
apart
All
my
dreams
were
heaven
bound
'Til
you
tore
that
cabin
down
You
made
toothpicks
of
the
timber
of
my
heart
He
made
toothpicks
of
the
timber
of
her
heart
He
made
toothpicks
of
the
timber
of
her
heart
Like
a
buzz
saw
rips
a
pole
He
made
sawdust
of
my
soul
He
made
toothpicks
of
the
timber
of
my
heart
He
was
tall
and
he
was
limber
and
for
timber
he
was
fine
But
his
lips
were
poison
oak
and
turpentine
He
was
seasoned,
I
was
green
Yes,
my
darling
lumber
king
Twined
me
around
his
finger
like
a
clinging
vine
Now
I
hang
around
the
shack
Just
a
lonesome
lumberjack
I
might
have
knowed
your
heart
was
wooden
from
the
start
When
you
snatched
away
your
charms
There
were
splinters
in
my
arms
You
made
toothpicks
of
the
timber
of
my
heart
He
made
toothpicks
of
the
timber
of
her
heart
He
made
toothpicks
of
the
timber
of
her
heart
When
I
rolled
you
down
the
hill
And
I
run
you
through
the
mill
You
made
toothpicks
of
the
timber
of
my
heart
You
made
toothpicks
of
the
timber
of
my
heart
