{title:The Frozen Logger}
{st:James Stevens}
As CI sat down one G7evening,
'Twas in a small cafCe,
A forty year old Fwaitress
To G7me these words did Csay:
I see that you're a logger,
And not a common bum,
For no one but a logger
Stirs coffee with his thumb.
I once had a logger lover,
There's none like him today.
If you poured whisky on it,
He'd eat a bail of hay.
He never shaved a whisker
Off of his horny hide;
He hammered in the bristles,
And bit them off inside.
My logger came to see me,
'Twas on a winter's day;
He held me in a fond embrace
That broke three vertebrae.
He kissed me when we parted
So hard it broke my jaw;
I couldn't speak to tell him
He forgot his mackinaw.
I saw my logger lover
Go stridin' through the snow,
A-goin' gaily homeward
At forty-eight below.
The weather tried to freeze him,
It did its very best;
At a hundred degrees below zero,
He buttoned up his vest.
It froze clear down to China,
It froze to the stars above;
At a thousand degrees below zero,
It froze my logger love.
They tried in vain to thaw him,
And if you believe it sir,
They made him into axe blades
To cut the Douglass Fir.
And so I lost my logger,
And to this cafe I've come,
And it's here I wait for someone
To stir coffee with his thumb.

C G7

As I sat down one evening,

'Twas in a small cafe,

A forty year old waitress

G7 C

To me these words did say:

I see that you're a logger,

And not a common bum,

For no one but a logger

Stirs coffee with his thumb.

I once had a logger lover,

There's none like him today.

If you poured whisky on it,

He'd eat a bail of hay.

He never shaved a whisker

Off of his horny hide;

He hammered in the bristles,

And bit them off inside.

My logger came to see me,

'Twas on a winter's day;

He held me in a fond embrace

That broke three vertebrae.

He kissed me when we parted

So hard it broke my jaw;

I couldn't speak to tell him

He forgot his mackinaw.

I saw my logger lover

Go stridin' through the snow,

A-goin' gaily homeward

At forty-eight below.

The weather tried to freeze him,

It did its very best;

At a hundred degrees below zero,

He buttoned up his vest.

It froze clear down to China,

It froze to the stars above;

At a thousand degrees below zero,

It froze my logger love.

They tried in vain to thaw him,

And if you believe it sir,

They made him into axe blades

To cut the Douglass Fir.

And so I lost my logger,

And to this cafe I've come,

And it's here I wait for someone

To stir coffee with his thumb.
