1
Well he rode through the woods on a big blue ox
2
He had fists as hard as choppin' blocks
3
Five hundred pounds and nine feet tall that's Paul
4
Talk about working when he swung his ax you could hear it ring for a mile and half
5
He'd yell timber and down she'd fall for Paul
6
Talk about drinkin' that man's so mean that he'd never drink nothin' but kerosene
7
A five gallon can is a little bit small for Paul
8
Talk about women that man's so lusty
9
Needs a woman ever hour just to keep from gettin' rusty
10
Young ones run and the old ones crawl to Paul
11
Talk about tough well he once had a fight with a thunderstorm on a cold dark night
12
I ain't sayin' who won but it don't storm at all round here thanks to Paul
13
He was ninety years old when he said with a sigh
14
Said I think I'm gonna lay right down and die
15
Cause sunshine and sorrow I've seen it all says Paul
16
Says there ain't no man alive can kill me ain't no woman left can thrill me
17
And I think a heaven just might be a ball says Paul
18
So he died and we cried
19
It took eighteen men just to bust that ground
20
Took three or four more just to lower him down
21
Then we covered him up and we figured that was all for Paul
22
But late one night the trees started shaking
23
And the dogs started barking and the earth started quaking
24
And out of the ground with the hi ye all came Paul
25
Well he shook the dirt from off his clothes
26
He scratched his ass and wiped his nose
27
You know being dead wasn't no fun at all says Paul
28
He said now up in heaven they got harps on their knees
29
They got clouds and wings but they got no trees
30
I don't think that's much of a heaven at all says Paul
31
So he jumps on his ox with a fare thee well
32
He said I'll find out if they got trees in hell
33
And he rode away and that was all we ever seen of Paul
34
Butthe next time you hear a timber yell
35
That sounds like it's comin' from the pits of hell
36
Then a boomin' laugh and a ghostly wail like somebody choppin' on the devil's tail
37
Then a shout and a call a crash and a fall
38
That ain't no mortal man at all that's just Paul
