Halfway Creek Timber Cutting Man

Gilmore's Lane about daylight

Talking bout the things we did last night

Did you sharpen that saw blade right?

An old iron bark hits the deck

Kinda sound that would wake the dead

Clear the branches the boss man said

That chainsaw's singing the same ole song

Across the hardwood red and strong

An nine pound hammer gripped in my hand

Im a Halfway Creek, timber cutting man

Back the posts off one by one

With a crow bar in the sun

Won’t stop till the quota's done

No time for smoko today

Gotta get these posts away

I’m just dreaming of Friday's pay

That chainsaw's singing the same ole song

Across the hardwood red and strong

An nine pound hammer gripped in my hand

Im a Halfway Creek, timber cutting man

I pick splinters from my hand

Drink a beer from my favorite can

Tomorrow I'll be back again

That chainsaw's singing the same ole song

Across the hardwood red and strong

An nine pound hammer gripped in my hand

Im a Halfway Creek, timber cutting man

That chainsaw's singing the same ole song

Across the hardwood red and strong

An nine pound hammer gripped in my hand

Im a Halfway Creek, timber cutting man
