Once I was a slave at the saw mill
Talk about a poor boy talk about a poor boy let me have a dollar bill
My work was so hard at the saw mill
Talk about a poor boy talk about a poor boy let me have a dollar bill
See my teardrops falling down my wife left the saw mill town
She said saw mill life had been a sin the gravy were too thin
I can't work no more at the saw mill
Talk about a poor boy talk about a poor boy let me have a dollar bill
[ steel ]
Well if you bring your wife to the saw mill
How you gonna please her how you gonna please her when she wants a dollar bill
She'll run away and leave you at the saw mill
Women like a dollar women like a dollar yes and women always will
See my teardrops falling down...
Women like a dollar women like a dollar yes and women always will

Well, once I was a slave at the sawmill
Talk about a poor boy, talk about a poor boy
Never saw a dollar bill
Well, my work was so hard at the sawmill
Think about a poor boy, think about a poor boy
When you go to write your will
Well, seen my teardrops falling down
My wife left this sawmill town
She said, sawmill life had many sins
'Cause the gravy was too thin
I can't work no more at the sawmill
Mercy on a poor boy, mercy on a poor boy
Let me have a dollar bill
If you bring your wife to the sawmill
Well, how you gonna please her, how you gonna please her
When she wants a dollar bill
They're not satisfied at the sawmill
Women like a dollar, women like a dollar
Yes, and women always will
Seen my teardrops falling down
My wife left this sawmill town
She said the sawmill life had many sins, Lord
'Cause the gravy was too thin
I can't work no more at the sawmill
Mercy on a poor boy, mercy on a poor boy
Let me have a dollar bill
Mercy on a poor boy, mercy on a poor boy

She was daddy's little rich bitch Showing off what she had She was leadin' me on She was drivin' me mad Well she's got me in a sweat That dirty whore she's got me wet What now have I got to do?
Then it came that day In a vision so clear Of her bloody death I would show no fear The time has come tonight For me to reinstate my rights And I knew what I was gonna do
I took her down to the SAWMILL down to the SAWMILL
I was front page news In the paper next day A killer Elite who's gonna pay? It wouldn't be too long Till they took me away But I'll never regret What I did that day
I took her down to the SAWMILL down to the SAWMILL
They took me away, shone a light in my face And questioned me on some dates & times With a smile on my face I told them of the steel saw terror
They said -
