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
