The Frozen Logger - Odetta[00:00:00]
As I sat down one evening[00:00:02]
Was in a small café[00:00:06]
A forty year old waitress to me[00:00:09]
These words did say[00:00:13]
I see you that you are a logger[00:00:18]
And not just a common bum[00:00:22]
'Cause nobody but a logger[00:00:26]
Stirs his coffee with his thumb[00:00:28]
My lover he was a logger[00:00:35]
There's none like him today[00:00:39]
Well if you'd pour whiskey on it[00:00:43]
Well he'd eat a bale of hay[00:00:46]
He never used a razor[00:00:51]
To shave his horny hide[00:00:55]
He'd just drive them in with a hammer[00:00:59]
Then he'd bite them off inside[00:01:03]
My lover he came to see me[00:01:08]
Was on a freezing day[00:01:12]
He held me in a fond embrace[00:01:16]
That broke three vertebraes[00:01:20]
Well he kissed me when we parted[00:01:25]
So hard that he broke my jaw[00:01:29]
And I could not speak to tell him[00:01:33]
He forgot his mackinaw[00:01:36]
I saw my lover leaving[00:01:42]
Sauntering through the snow[00:01:46]
Well going grimly homeward[00:01:50]
At forty eight below[00:01:53]
Wll the weather tried to freeze him[00:01:59]
It tried its level best[00:02:03]
At a hundred degrees below zero[00:02:06]
Why he buttoned up his vest[00:02:10]
It froze clean through to china[00:02:15]
And it froze to the stars above[00:02:19]
And at a thousand degrees below zero[00:02:23]
It froze my logger love[00:02:27]
And so I lost my lover[00:02:32]
And to this café I come[00:02:36]
And here I wait till someone[00:02:40]
Stirs his coffee with his thumb[00:02:43]
