lirik lagu van wagner - crosscut saw

Loading...

well the war it was over
mr lincoln had won
i drew my navy wages and returned to my home
sullivan county where my grandfather came
soil rocky and the skies always rained
i remember grandpa’s stories of when he was a kid
bison in the low lands and elk on the ridge

well now they’re all gone
and a new hunt has begun
to find the type of [?] that makes sawmills hum
all i need (all i need) is my crosscut saw
my double bit axe and 80 trees to fall
the spring its coming i can smell it all around
and my soul’s being tempted by that high water sound

up on the loyalsock well its straight and its tall
there’s pine up there like you ain’t never saw
only brave loggers bare the winters cold
snow falls heavy on the appalachian folds

up in the morning at five am
throw down some biscuits, some coffee, and ham
a twelve hour shift on the teamster crew
skidding logs to the river through the ice and snow

all i need (all i need) is my crosscut saw
my double bit axe and 80 trees to fall
the spring its coming i can smell it all around
and my soul’s being tempted by that high water sound

we lash our logs together with hickory and oak
no rope, no iron just pins and bows
a sweep at the front and back and a shack for the crew
twenty thousand bored feet ready to tie loose
when the ice finally breaks, and the waters good and high
we’ll head down the loyalsock, our crew of five
one day on the raft down to mountoursville
we hit the susquehanna where the waters smooth and still

all i need (all i need) is my crosscut saw
my double bit axe and 80 trees to fall
the spring its coming i can smell it all around
and my soul’s being tempted by that high water sound

once we get to marietta we sell of our logs
one hundred dollars split by five river hogs
we head back north, walking all the way
one hand on your knife and the other on your pay

well if its a good season we’ll have two or three more runs
then this years over and the summer begun
i’ll watch as the rust, it builds on my tools
and long for the day i’m back with my logging crew

all i need (all i need) is my crosscut saw
my double bit axe and 80 trees to fall
the spring its coming i can smell it all around
and my soul’s being tempted by that high water sound
