INTRO: Notes to last line of CHORUS
[G7] All you [C] big and burly men who roll the trucks along
Better listen, you ll be thankful, when you [G7] hear my song
You have [C] really got made, if you re [F] haulin goods
[C] Any place on earth, but those [G7] Haynesville [C] Woods.
CHORUS
[C] It s a stretch of road, up [F] north in Maine
That s [C] never ever, ever seen a [G7] smile
If they [C] buried all the trucker s [F] lost in them woods
There d be a [C] tombstone [G7] ev ry [C] mile
Count [] off, there be [] tomb-stone [] ev ry [] mile. []
When you re loaded with potatoes and you re headed down
You gotta drive the Woods to get to Boston town
When it s winter up in Maine, better check it over twice
That Haynesville Road is just a ribbon of ice.
CHORUS
When you re talkin to a trucker that s been haulin goods
Down the stretch of road in Maine, they call the Haynesville Woods
He ll tell you that dyin and goin down below
Won t be half as bad as drivin on that road of ice and snow.
