I'm gonna pull this timber `fore the sun go down



Get it `cross the river `fore the bars come down



Drag it on down that dusty road



Come on Jerry, let's dump this load





I said "Timber, ho!", timber, woah this timber's gotta roll



I said "Timber, ho!", timber, woah this timber's gotta roll





My old Jerry was an Arkansas mule



Been everywhere and he ain't no fool



Weighed nine hundred and twenty-two



Done everything a poor mule can do





(chorus)





Jerry's shoulders stood six foot tall



Pulled more timber than a freight could haul



Workin' heavy old Jerry got sore



Pulled so much he couldn't pull no more





(chorus)





The boss said "Jerry" and it made him jump



Jerry ran and kicked the boss on the rump



My old Jerry was a cool mule



Had it been me I woulda killed that fool



Boss tried to shoot old Jerry in the head



Jerry took that bullet and he stomped him dead



Stomped that boss til he heard him scream



Sure don't care he was so damn mean





(chorus 2x)
