Lyrics for Song: The Lumberjacks Had a Lady 
Lyrics for Album: L.A. Sessions [MCA] [1976]
  
               
  17657>(Denice & Christopher Crockett)
 
 
  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...
