Lyrics:
I'm a cross cut saw, just drag me 'cross your log
I'm a cross cut saw, just drag me across your log
I cut your wood so easy for you, you can't help but say 'Hot dog!'
Some call me wood-choppin' Sam. Some call me wood-cuttin' Ben
Last girl I cut the wood for, want me back again
I'm a cross cut saw, just drag me 'cross your log
I'm a cross cut saw, just drag me across your log
I cut your wood so easy for you, you can't help but say 'Hot dog!'
I've got a double-bladed axe, that really cuts good
I'm a cross cut saw, just bury me in your wood
I'm a cross cut saw, just drag me 'cross your log
I cut your wood so easy for you, woman, you can't help but say 'Hot dog!'

It was hard to pick one to post, but I had never heard this song before either.
DeleteI'm not familiar with the artist, but I once again commend you for finding a Memphis artist. You are truly gifted and obviously, so is your city.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to be gifted to find talented musicians here and songs that reference Memphis. I have a folder full of bookmarks and posts scheduled into the next year lol.
