Recorded by Mel Tillis
Written by Horace Whatley and Mel Tillis
[Verse 1]
D G
Well once I was a slave at the sawmill
D
Talk about a poor boy talk about a poor boy
G D
Never saw a dollar bill
G
My work was so hard at the sawmill
D
Think about a poor boy think about a poor boy
G D
When you go to write your will
[Chorus]
G
Well see my teardrops falling down
My wife left this sawmill town
A7
She said the sawmill life had been a sin...
N.C.
Cause the gravy was too thin
D G
I can't work no more at the sawmill
D
Mercy on a poor boy mercy on a poor boy
G D
Let me have a dollar bill
[Verse 2]
G
If you bring your wife to the sawmill
D
Well how you gonna please her how you gonna please her
G D
When she wants a dollar bill
G
They're not satisfied at the sawmill
D
Women like a dollar women like a dollar
G D
Yes and women always will
[Chorus]
G
Well see my teardrops falling down
My wife left this sawmill town
A7
She said the sawmill life had been a sin...
N.C.
Cause the gravy was too thin
D G
I can't work no more at the sawmill
D
Mercy on a poor boy mercy on a poor boy
G D
Let me have a dollar bill
