Well once I was a slave at the sawmill
|
Talk about a poor boy talk about a poor boy never saw a dollar bill
|
My work was so hard at the sawmill
|
Think about a poor boy think about a poor boy let me have a dollar bill
|
|
Well see my teardrops falling down my wife left the sawmill town
|
She said sawmill life had been a sin the gravy was too thin
|
And I'd work no more at the sawmill
|
Mercy of a poor boy mercy a poor boy let me have a dollar bill
|
|
And if you bring your wife to the sawmill
|
How you gonna please her how you gonna please her
|
When she wants a dollar bill
|
They're not satisfied at the sawmill
|
Cause women like a dollar women like a dollar yes and women always will
|
|
Oh see my teardrops falling down...
|
Mercy of a poor boy mercy a poor boy let me have a dollar bill
|
