[Verse 1]
You gotta haul that timber 'fore the sun goes down
Drag it cross the river 'fore the boss come around
You drag it on down that dusty road
Come on, Jerry, let's haul that load
[Verse 2]
Timber, timber
All that timber gotta roll
All that timber gotta roll
[Verse 3]
Now my old Jerry is an Arkansas mule
And he been everywhere and he ain't no fool
He weigh 922
Done everything a damn mule can do
[Verse 4]
Timber, timber
All that timber gotta roll
All that timber gotta roll
[Verse 5]
Now Jerry's old shoulder stands a-nine feet tall
He pull more lumber than a freight can a-haul
When work gets a-heavy, Jerry gets sore
Pulls so much he wouldn't pull no more
[Verse 6]
Timber, timber
All that timber gotta roll
All that timber gotta roll
[Verse 7]
Boss hits Jerry and he made him jump
Jerry run and kick that boss in the rump
Now my old Jerry is a good ol' mule
Had it been me, I would've killed that fool
[Verse 8]
Timber, timber
All that timber gotta roll
All that timber gotta roll
[Verse 9]
Boss tried to shoot ol' Jerry in the head
Jerry ducked the bullet, stomped that boss a-man a-dead
Stomped that boss till he wasn't clean
He should've killed him 'cause he's so damn mean
[Verse 10]
Timber, timber
All that timber gotta roll
All that timber gotta roll
[Verse 11]
You gotta haul that timber 'fore the sun goes down
Drag it cross the river 'fore the boss come around
And drag it on down that dusty road
Come on, Jerry, let's haul this load
[Verse 12]
Timber, timber
All that timber gotta roll
All that timber gotta roll
