As I sat down one evening Was in a small café A forty year old waitress to me These words did say I see you that you are a logger And not just a common bum 'Cause nobody but a logger Stirs his coffee with his thumb My lover he was a logger There's none like him today Well if you'd pour whiskey on it Well he'd eat a bale of hay He never sharing his whiskey To shave his horny hide He'd just drive them in with a hammer Then he'd bite them off inside My lover he came to see me Was on a freezing day He held me in a fond embrace That broke three vertebraes Well he kissed me when we parted So hard that he broke my jaw And I could not speak to tell him He forgot his mackinaw I saw my lover leaving Sauntering through the snow Well going grimly homeward At forty eight below Wll the weather tried to freeze him It tried its level best At a hundred degrees below zero He buttoned up his vest It froze clean through to China And it froze to the stars above And at a thousand degrees below zero It froze my logger love And so I lost my lover And to this café I come And here I wait till someone Stirs his coffee with his thumb
