Lyrics

(V1:) Yonder from the city is a land of verdant green
Some say it’s a treasure but it turns some others mean
(Cho:) There’s a place in California, as the logging people know
Where the forest fell to plunder
And the sawmill made it so
(V2:) Felling and refining, it requires an able team
Flywheels, blades a’ whining ‘til the whistle blows its steam
(Cho2:) There’s a place in California, as the logging people know
Where the forest fell to plunder
And the sawmill made it so
(solo over V3:)
(Cho3:) While the sweat pours off my brow line
and the dust does make me choke
See the trees all turn to pasture and the logs all turn to smoke
(Cho 4:) There’s a place in California, as the logging people know
Where the forest fell to plunder
And the sawmill made it so
