Chord/Tab song: Sawmill

Sawmill

(Mel Tillis)

[G]Once I was a slave at the [C]sawmill
[G]Talk about a poor boy,

Talk about a poor boy
Let me have a d[C]ollar [G]bill


My work was so hard at the [C]sawmill
[G]Talk about a poor boy,

Talk about a poor boy
Let me have a [C]dollar [G]bill

[C]See my teardrops falling down

My wife left this sawmill town
She said sawmill's life had been a [D7]sin

The gravy were much too thin

I [G]can't work no more at the s[C]awmill
[G]Talk about a poor boy, talk about a poor boy
Let me have a [C]dollar [G]bill

If you take your wife to the [C]sawmill
[G]How you gonna please her,

How you gonna please her
When she wants a [C]dollar [G]bill

She'll run away and leave you at the sawmill
Women like a dollar,
Women like a dollar.
Yes and women always will.

See my teardrops falling down
My wife left this sawmill town
She said sawmill's life had been a sin
The gravy were much too thin.
I can't work no more at the sawmill
Yes and women like a dollar,
yes and women like a dollar
Yes and women always will
