"Crosscut Saw", or "Cross Cut Saw Blues" as it was first called, is a bawdy blues song - it became an early R&B chart hit for Albert King, "who made it one of the necessary pieces of modern blues"
The lyrics are rife with double-entendre:
Now, I'm a cross cut saw, drag me 'cross yo' log I'm a cross cut saw, and drag me across yo' log Babe, I'll cut yo' wood so easy, you can't help say "hot dog"
