Cross-cut Saw

Yeah ^DI thought I knew it all Till Dad put me on the other ^Aend Of a cross-cut ^Dsaw

Now you pull, you dont push,

You pull it away from ^Ame I pull it back, away from ^Dyou

Down on your knees,

Cut that stump close to the ^Aground Short small strokes at first Let the steel teeth make their ^Dsound

Zing ^Dzing the saw cuts the cold winter air Breathe out white puffs of ^Asteam Dont work against one another Work together as a ^Dteam

Sawdust flakes drop in the snow

Yellow gold covers my ^Aknees The tall tree groans, and leans Toward the undercut we made with ^Dease

The cut opens up wide

We pull the saw back, ^Aaway The tall top quivers in the breeze Leans over and thumps the ground ^Daway

I look at Dad

He looks back at ^Ame Tight smiles, we both had Lets cross-cut another ^Dtree

Firewood, white oak, winter time..cross-cut saw.
