xTHE LOG DRIVER'S WALTZ
- Wade Hemsworth
INTRO: D, D, D, D
D D G G
If you should ask any girl from the parish a-round
A A A7SUS4 D
What pleases her most from her head to her toes
D D G G
She'll say: I'm not sure that it's business of yours
A A D A
But I do like to waltz with a log driver, (for he goes)
CHORUS:
D D G G
For he goes birling down, a-down white water
D D A A
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly
D D G G
It's birling down, a down white water
D D/DSUS7/D A D D/DSUS7/D A D
A log drivers waltz pleases girls com-pletely
D D G G
When the drive's nearly over, I like to go down
A A A7SUS4 D
To see all the lads while they work on the river
D D G G
I know that come evening they'll be in the town
A A D A
And we all want to waltz with a log driver (for he goes)
(CHORUS)
D D G G
To please both my parents, I've had to give way
A A A7SUS4 D
And dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers
D D G G
Their manners are fine, but their feet are of clay
A A D A
For there's none with the style of a log driver (for he goes)
(CHORUS)
D D G G
I've had my chances with all sorts of men
A A A7SUS4 D
But none is so fine as my lad on the river
D D G G
So when the drive's over, if he asks me again
A A D A
I think I will marry my log driver (for he goes)
