Lyrics
It
was
early
one
morning
I
walked
into
town
And
in
sweet
recreation
I
was
strolling
around
When
I
spied
this
hotel
in
the
fore
afternoon
That
was
sporting
a
sign
said
the
Red
Light
Saloon
So
I
boldly
walked
in
and
I
stepped
to
the
bar
Where
a
pretty
young
lady
said
"Have
a
cigar"
I
took
that
cigar
saying
"Thanks
for
the
boon"
But
she
said
"That's
our
way
in
the
Red
Light
Saloon"
Then
she
mussed
up
my
hair
and
sat
down
on
my
knee
Saying
"You
are
a
logger,
it's
easy
to
see"
Saying
"You
are
a
lumberjack,
that
we
all
know
For
your
muscles
are
hard
from
your
head
to
your
toe"
She
proceeded
to
test
if
my
muscles
were
right
Till
I
smoked
that
cigar
without
striking
the
light
My
head
it
was
rising
like
a
balloon
From
the
treatment
I
got
in
the
Red
Light
Saloon
It
was
early
next
morning
I
bid
her
goodbye
She
waved
from
the
window
with
a
tear
in
her
eye
So
I
did
not
discover
till
the
middle
of
June
I
was
carrying
a
keepsake
of
the
Red
Light
Saloon
I
cursed
that
young
lady
till
the
heaven
turned
blue
And
with
whiskey
and
women
I
swore
I
was
through
But
with
all
of
my
swearing
I'd
give
my
fortune
Just
to
be
back
in
bed
in
the
Red
Light
Saloon
