Albert King published "Born Under a Bad Sign" in 1967. 

Crosscut Saw was the second song in the album.

Credited to R.G. Ford, the song was first released in 1941 by Mississippi bluesman Tommy McClennan.

 "I'm a crosscut saw,

Baby, drag me across your log.

I'm a crosscut saw,

Baby, drag me across your log.

I cut your wood so easy for you,

You can't help but say, "Hot Dog!"

Some call me Woodcutting Sam,

Some call me Woodcutting Jim.

The last girl I cut wood for,

She wants me back again.

I'm a crosscut saw,

Baby, drag me across your log.

I cut your wood so easy for you,

You can't help but say, "Hot Dog!"

I got a double-bladed axe

That really cuts good.

Well, I'm a crosscut saw,

Gonna bury me in your wood.

I'm a crosscut saw,

Baby, drag me across your log.

I cut your wood so easy for you,

You can't help but say, "Hot Dog!"
