Thread Name: Origins: Down the Corduroy Road
Subject: Lyr Add: DOWN THE CORDUROY ROAD
Here are some of the words...I forget the first two or so verses..
----------- ----------
Your master's name does he treat you fair Down the corduroy road Her name is Sue she's beyond compare Down the beautiful corduroy road
Does she ever crack the whip... Only when my feet should slip..
Does she move you to go faster She says she'll put me out to pasture
Do you ever wish you were not yoked There was that time I almost choked
How often have you climbed this mountain So many times I just stopped counting
Heave and trudge heave and trudge.. An extra yank when the sled won't budge
A teamster's life is never dull Not when there's all these trees to pull
We'll always work so have no fears They'll need us for two hundred years
