Axe

I will swing my axe, don't let the flames go down

Carve out some of that kindlin'

There's plenty of wood around

Well I've seen the Devil's shadow underneath the moon

Keep that fire a-goin', the Son/sun is coming soon

I will swing my axe, don't let the flames go down

Carve out some of that kindlin'

There's plenty of wood around

When I'm old and gray and these two hands are worn

Cross me over Jordan, Lord, and I'll keep heaven warm

I will swing my axe, don't let the flames go down

Carve out some of that kindlin'

There's plenty of wood around
