The bread was hard the coffee was stale
Over on the table with the 'lectric bill
But I don't give a damn what the landlord says
I gotta drop thumb, claw hammer, and frail
You drew the line, I said "no fair"
You called me from the road, you didn't say where
And you know I'd be a liar if I said I don't care
But I gotta drop thumb, claw hammer, and frail
Don't you give me that three finger, three finger,
Illinois thrash no Newgrass neither
I wanna hear Polly on the mountainside,
But it's gotta be a sawmill Caroline
One more time for the folks over there
The ones with the jean shorts, ones with the hair
We don't give a dumb if it rains or hails
We gotta drop thumb, claw hammer, and frail
Don't you give me that three finger, three finger,
Illinois thrash no Newgrass neither
I wanna hear Polly on the mountainside,
But it's gotta be a sawmill Caroline
