Lyrics:
Way back in the swamp where the crickets chomp
And the deer and the catfish play
Lived a sawmill man on a piece of land
Raising his family
As a little girl he was my whole world
My daddy worked hard every day
Chase the hogs mill the logs
Make that saw blade spin
My daddy was a workin’ man back in high water
And I’m just a product of the man
Sawmiller’s Daughter
When you’re out on the land loggin’ the strand
It’s a struggle just to survive
Workin’ the saw and prayin’ to God
That you make it outta there alive
When the cypress bawls it’s a hell of a fall
You better get back and be still
Load it on up and take it on home
To that old sawmill
My daddy was a workin’ man back in high water
And I’m just a product of the man
Sawmiller’s Daughter
Back at the house we’re throwin’ the slabs
With the chickens and the dogs and the heat
Early come mornin’ but long come supper
Fix a little somethin’ to eat
Another day will come he’d say
Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise
Take that old Gibson down in the kitchen
Do a little pickin’ tonight
My daddy was a workin’ man back in high water
And I’m just a product of the man Sawmiller’s Daughter
For every chance you get there’s a chance you met
So take a chance every chance that you can
Cause I’m tellin’ you son there ain’t no fun
In the life of a sawmill man
My daddy’s life was sung but he died young
And we miss him every day
Not a minute’s passed I wouldn’t go back
To those sawmill ways
My daddy was a workin’ man back in high water
And I’m just a product of the man Sawmiller’s Daughter
Yeah my daddy was a workin’ man back in high water
And I’m just a product of the man Sawmiller’s Daughter
