Jerry (This Timber Got to Roll) - Harry Belafonte

Timber timber
Lord this timber gotta roll
I got to pull this timber
Before the sun go down
Get it cross that river
Before the boss comes around
Get it on down that dusty road
Come on Jerry let's tow this load
Timber timber Lord this timber gotta roll
Well my old Jerry is an Arkansas mule
Been everywhere and he ain't no fool
Work get heavy ol Jerry get sore
Pulled so much he won't pull no more
Crying timber timber Lord this timber gotta roll
The boss he tried to shoot ol Jerry in the head
Jerry ducked that bullet and stomped him dead
Stomped that boss till I wanted to scream
Should have killed him
Cause he's so mean
Crying timber timber Lord this timber gotta roll
Well the boss kicked Jerry and made him jump
Jerry reared and kicked the boss on the rump
Now my old Jerry was good old mule
Had it been me Lord I had a killed that fool
Crying timber timber Lord this timber gotta roll
Timber timber Lord this timber gotta roll
Come on Jerry let's tow you know the timber
Got the road
Timber timber
