brenda lee-the lumberjack had a lady Lyrics

the lumberjacks were sittin’ in the moonlight
when she stepped from the whisperin’ pines
a vision of a lady in a black satin gown
with a fiery look in her eyes
she told them not to ask where she came from
as she slipped off her shawl by the fire
she said
i wonder if you gentlemen could keep me for the night” and when she smiled the flames grew higher the lumberjacks had a lady she was wild as the night in the woods the lumberjacks had a lady and they never ever had it so good they took her to a shack in the shadows and they watched her as she put on the light she had a look in her eyes that made men realize the things they were thinkin’ were right as the moon grew dim the first snuck in with a bottle and a kerosene lamp before the break of the day they all knew the way from their cabin to the lady in the shack the lumberjacks had a lady she was wild as the night in the woods the lumberjacks had a lady and they never ever had it so good i know they light the logs at night and talk about her some say she was a spirit of the fire and some of them say she was just a runaway but as they talk the flames grow higher the lumberjacks had a lady she was wild as the night in the woods the lumberjacks had a lady and they never ever had it so good”
