pete seeger - the scaler lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i headed for the logging woods
i took my chopping axe
i had to get some money quick
to pay that income tax

[verse 2]
i fell me down a popping tree
i hauled it to the mill
i figured that i had enough
to pay that doggone bill

[verse 3]
the scaler took his cheating stick
and ambled down the log
when he got through a_figuring up
my mind just slipped the cog

[verse 4]
’cause he took two inches off the bark
the rest he took for rot
when jesse jane pulled a trick like that
the highway man got shot

[verse 5]
oh, the scaler is an honest man
he jipped me fair and square
he said, “i’d give you more my friend
but the scale just isn’t there”
[verse 6]
so i had to sell my logging truck
i hocked my chopping axe
i had to find another way
to pay that doggone tax

[verse 7]
i’m heading off to logging school
i’m gonna learn to scale
it’s an ‘arn good way to jip a man
and still stay out of jail

- pete seeger
