Paul Bunyan song

I didn’t like having to watch for two minutes before getting to it so yeah here

One of the greatest American Chads of History. It is unfortunate time machines don’t exist. He may have been exaggerated through folk lore and legend but I guarantee the real Paul Bunyan was a great giant of a man. Im sure shaking his boat oar of a hand and drinking a beer with him after a long day of work would be an unforgettable experience.

Watched this as a kid in the early 90's, randomly remembered the song some minutes ago and here I am again in 2021. Memories, good memories!

Lyrics:

With my double-blade axe and my hobnail boots, I go where the timber's tall
When there’s work to be done, don’t mess around, just sing right out for Paul
“Hey, Paul.”
“I’m coming, boys.”
Paul Bunyan, Paul Bunyan
He’s 63 axe-handles high, with his feet on the ground and his head in the sky
“Hey, Paul, Paul Bunyan.”

Well, he picked up his axe and he chopped a tree clean down with his foreword swing
Got him another when his axe swung back, that timber-cuttin’ king
He kept on a-choppin’ the live-long day, and then when it was night, he walked back over the stumps he’d cut, and stomped them out of sight
“Thanks, Paul”
“Weren’t nothin’”
“Paul Bunyan!”

An axe-handle was a measurement used by loggers to measure the length of a cut tree. The average axe handle is 2ft long, so Paul would be 126ft tall.

This song has lived rent free in my head since 2005 when I was seven and saw this. Every now and then it pops up in my head.

Thank you Thurl Ravenscroft for your amazing voice!!!

With Paul Bunyan being America's Kaiju and all, I reckon that with his double bladed axe and his hobnail boots he would stop Godzilla pretty quickly.

That's the BIGGEST lumberjack I've ever seen.

The story of everytime technology replaces manpower.

I still think Paul and Babe won that tree chopping competition. When it was announced they lost it felt like I was watching a favorite sports team lose a big game.

I'm a teenager
, and for some reason decided to listen to this while I write.

Saw this when I was little way back in the early 90’s I remembered the song and I came searching for it.. Good old days great memories

I like how folktales from other countries a scary stories most of the time. But most American folktales can be summed up to, "Workin hard, or hardly workin".
