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 quit 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 tonights all over I'm through cuttin' the timber I know right where shell be found I look through the window And if she's still in there I'm gonna burn a honky tonk down Yes tonights all over I'm through cuttin' the timber I know right where shell 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
