White Oak Wood

White oak wood goes in green,
smoke a whole hog and leave it clean.
All I need is some white oak wood.
Cut it short and split it soon,
burn all night into afternoon.
All I need is some white oak wood.

Time to take my mattock down.
I got a hog three hundred pounds.
Cut up a drum and hinge a hood,
feed everybody in the neighborhood.
All I need is some white oak wood.

White oak wood is a good veneer;
pegs and plywood disappear.
All I need is some white oak wood.
Takes a stain and ages well.
I did it myself and I can't tell.
All I need is some white oak wood.

Time to take my mattock down.
I got a hog three hundred pounds.
Cut up a drum and hinge a hood,
feed everybody in the neighborhood.
All I need is some white oak wood.

White oak wood, it's a shady tree,
slow to grow and a sight to see.
All I need is some white oak wood.
I got one on the old homestead
worth more alive than it is dead.
All I need is some white oak wood.

Time to take my mattock down.
I got a hog three hundred pounds.
Cut up a drum and hinge a hood,
feed everybody in the neighborhood.
All I need is some white oak wood.
