[Verse 1]
Once I was a slave at the sawmill
Talk about a poor boy
Talk about a poor boy
Never saw a dollar bill
[Verse 2]
My work was so hard at the sawmill
Think about a poor boy
Think about a poor boy
When you go to write your will
[Verse 3]
See my teardrops fallin' down
My wife left this sawmill town
She said sawmill life has been a sin
The gravy was too thin
[Verse 4]
I can't work no more at the sawmill
Mercy on a poor boy
Mercy on a poor boy
Let me have a dollar bill
[Verse 5]
If you bring your wife to the sawmill
How you gonna please her?
How you gonna please her
When she wants a dollar bill?
[Verse 6]
They're not satisfied at the sawmill
Women like a dollar
Women like a dollar
Yes, and women always will
[Verse 7]
See my teardrops fallin' down
My wife left this sawmill town
She said sawmill life had been a sin
The gravy was too thin
[Verse 8]
I can't work no more at the sawmill
Mercy on a poor boy
Mercy on a poor boy
Let me have a dollar bill
[Verse 9]
Wish I had a dollar bill
Ain't you got a dollar bill?
Let me have a dollar bill
Let me have a dollar bill
Let me have a dollar bill
