Bigwood Timber
It's been raining for eight days straight Hauling timber of the Big Jumbo The creek is going over the banks And the road is turning into gumbo Big wheels are rolling from the mountain to the mill There's a logger who's soaked to the bone But he is working still
Chorus: And there's big wood timber coming down, down, down There's big wood timber coming down
He came out West at seventeen The biggest trees he'd ever seen Way back when the land was raw He heard the singing of the crosscut saw The foreman said 'Son are you able To work the end of a choker cable?' In the logging camps he paid his dues To the Douglas Fir and the Sitka Spruce
Chorus
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Big in the shoulders and broad in the back From driving the wedges and swinging the axe Faller's prayer and the lumberjack law Sawdust flying from a two-stroke saw Thirty below in the Wintertime Tamarack, Fir, and Lodgepole Pine Feller and a buncher and a skidder to drag A good man lost to a fallin' snag
Chorus
There's a big log jam on the river wide And a suken barge at the log dump site Two loaded trucks locked their horns On an icy road in the early morn Drifting snow and blowing rain Double shifting on the choker chain Skidder rolled over on the ridge Mudslide road and a washed out bridgeAnd a good man lost to a falling snag
Chorus
