Who got no cuddling in Comfort’s lap.

You’ll scarcely follow me when I sing

Of the rasping buck-saw’s dancing spring,

For the rugged rhythm is fashioned for

The ear that remembers ur-r rick, ur-r raw.

Ur-r raw, ur-r rick.

Ur-r raw, ur-r rick!

We pecked at our mountain stick by stick.

Our dad was a man who was mighty good

In getting the women-folks lots of wood.
