The Frozen Logger Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[VERSE]
[A]As I step out one mor[E]ning into a small ca[A]fe,
A forty year old wai[D]tress to [E]me these words did s[A]ay:
She said I see sir you?re a lo[E]gger, and not just a common b[A]um,
'Cause nobody but a lo[D]gger st[E]irs his coffee with is th[A]umb.

[VERSE]
My lover was a lo[E]gger, there's none like him to[A]day;
If you'd pour a little wh[D]iskey up on it he [E]eat a bale of h[A]ay
My lover came to see [E]me twas on one freezing d[A]ay;
He threw his arms around m[D]e and broke t[E]hree vertebrae[A] .

[VERSE]
I saw my lover leaving, sau[E]ntering through the s[A]now,
Up going gaily homeward a[D]t fort[E]y-eight [A]below.
The weather tried to freeze [E]him, it tried its level [A]best;
At a thousand degrees below z[D]ero, he but[E]toned up his v[A]est.

[VERSE]
It froze clean through to Ch[E]ina, it froze to the stars ab[A]ove;
At a million degrees below ze[D]ro, it fro[E]ze my logger lov[A]e.
And so I lost my lo[E]ver, and to this cafe I c[A]ome,
And here I wait till someone st[D]irs his cof[E]fee with his th[A]umb."
