Did You Hear About Jerry? Lyrics - Harry Belafonte

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Great God almighty was the workin' man's friend 

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Did you hear about Jerry,

I gotta pull this timber 'fore the sun go down 

Headed cross that river 'fore the boss come 'round 

Drag it on down that dusty road 

Come on Jerry let's tote that load 

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Did you hear about Jerry, 

Well my old Jerry is a Arkansas mule 

Been everywhere and he ain't no fool 

Work get heavy old Jerry get slow 

Pull so much he won't pull no mo' 

Cry timber, timber, Lord this timber's gotta roll 

Timber, timber, Lord this timber's gotta roll 

Well the boss kicked Jerry and he made him jump 

Jerry ridin' kick that boss on the rump 

My old Jerry is a good old mule 

Had-a been me Lord, I'd a kill that fool

Cry timber, timber, Lord this timber's gotta roll 

Timber, timber, Lord this timber's gotta roll 

Well the boss tried to shoot old Jerry in the head 

Jerry ducked the bullet and he stomped him dead 

Stomped that boss 'til I wanted to scream 

Should-a killed him 'cause he's so damn mean 

Cry timber, timber, Lord this timber's gotta roll 

Timber, timber, Lord this timber's gotta roll
