I work on the mountain cuttin' the timber I work till my fingers are sore Cutting the timber, goes through the saw mill To build another honky tonk bar
While down in the valley she's spendin' my money Havin' herself quite a ball Spending my money I earn at the sawmill To build another honky tonk bar
Early each mornin' I'm back on that mountain Wishin' her lies were the truth Cutting the tiber that goes through the sawmil To build another honky tonk bar
But tonight's all over I'm through cuttin' the timber I know right where she'll be found I look through the window And if she's still in there I'm gonna burn a honky tonk down
Yes tonight's all over I'm through cuttin' the timber I know right where she'll be found I'll look through the window And if she's still in there I'm gonna burn another honky tonk down
I'll look through the window And if she's still in there I'm gonna burn another honky tonk down
