A                      D  A
I lived on a farm out in Iowa
  A                                   E
I pulled the corn and I worked in the hay
  A                                 D
Got trapped by a girl but I wiggled free
  A                     E       A
Heard the Oregon timber calling me


[Chorus]
  A                             D     A
Will you tell me something, Mr. Lumberjack?
  A                       E
Is it one for forward and three for back?
      A                        D
Is it two for stop or four for go?
A                                A
Boy, ask a whistle punk, I don't know


[Verse 2]
        A                        D            A
Well, I learned this fact from a logger named Ray
    A                     E
You don't cut timber on a windy day
A                                         D
Stay out of the woods when the moisture's low
       A                   E            A
Or you ain't gonna live to collect your dough


[Chorus]

  A                             D     A
Will you tell me something, Mr. Lumberjack?
  A                       E
Is it one for forward and three for back?
      A                        D
Is it two for stop or four for go?
A                          E      A
Boy, ask a whistle punk, I don't know



[Verse 3]
         A                      D          A
Well you work in the woods from morning to night
A                          E
You laugh and sing and you cuss and fight
A                              D
On Saturday night you go to Eugene
         A                    E           A
And on a Sunday morning, your pockets are clean


[Chorus]

  A                             D     A
Will you tell me something, Mr. Lumberjack?
  A                       E
Is it one for forward and three for back?
      A                        D
Is it two for stop or four for go?
A                                A
Boy, ask a whistle punk, I don't know
