tom t. hall – the whittler lyrics
[verse 1]
at an old country store on the outskirts of town
he sat on the porch with his feet on the ground
with a stick of red cedar and a sharp barlow knife
he whittled and talked of a whittler’s life
[verse 2]
he said when you whittle you don’t make a thing
a whittle can’t dance and a whittle can’t sing
a whittle don’t hurt and a whittle don’t help
a whittle ain’t nothin’ but whittlin’ itself
[chorus]
one whittles a whit and two whits a whittle
it’s the same on both ends as it is in the middle
the same to the wood as it is to the knife
a whittles a riddle it’s a little like life
[verse 3]
well a whittle don’t care about heaven or h+ll
don’t care how it looks and don’t care how it smells
it’s a thing you can’t do if you think it’s a thing
it’s the end of a circle and the start of a ring
[verse 4]
well he sits there and whittles and the shavins’ pile up
back to the earth and then back to the dust
he said what have i done if i’ve whittled all day
time would have whittled itself anyway
[chorus]
one whittles a whit and two whits a whittle
it’s the same on both ends as it is in the middle
the same to the wood as it is to the knife
a whittles a riddle it’s a little like life
[verse 5]
he said here watch me whittle and he whittled a whit
he reared back and laughed and leaned over and spit
he said let me say one more thing fore you go
i don’t even know what it is i don’t know
[chorus]
one whittles a whit and two whits a whittle
it’s the same on both ends as it is in the middle
the same to the wood as it is to the knife
a whittles a riddle it’s a little like life
