The Frozen Logger - Johnny Cash

作词：James Stevens

作曲：James Stevens

As I sat down

one morning into a small cafe

A forty year old waitress

to me these words did say

she said I see sir

you are a logger and not just a common bum

'Cause nobody but

a logger stirs his coffee with

is thumb

My lover was

a logger

there's none like him today

If you'd pour little whiskey up on it

he eat a bale of hay

My lover came to see me twas on one freezing day

he threw his arms around me and broke

three vertebrae

I saw my lover leaving

I trudging through the snow

I Going gaily homeward at forty-eight below

The weather tried to freeze him

it tried its level best

At a thousand degrees below zero he buttoned

up his vest

It froze clean through to China it froze to the stars above

At a million degrees below zero it froze my logger love

And so I lost my lover and to this cafe I come

And here I wait till someone stirs his coffee with his thumb
