verse 1
Yonder from the city is a land of verdant green
Some say it's a treasure, but it turns some others mean
There's a place in California as the logging people know
Where the forest fell to plunder and the sawmill made it so
verse 2
Felling and refining it requires an able team
Flywheel blades a whining while the whistle blows its steam
There's a place in California as the logging people know
Where the forest fell to plunder and the sawmill made it so

BRIDGE
As the sweat pours off my brow line
And the dust does make me choke
See the trees all turn to pasture
And the logs all turn to smoke
There's a place in California as the logging people know
Where the forest fell to plunder and the sawmill made it so
The sawmill made it so
