Log Driver's Waltz

Intro:
              D                          A           D
(whistle "The log driver's waltz pleases girls completely")

       D                     G
If you ask any girl from the parish around
       A                       A           D
What pleases her most from her head to her toes
       D                          G
She'll say I'm not sure that it's business of yours
      A                       D
But I do like to waltz with a log driver


Chorus:
            D                G
For he goes burling down and down white water
D                           A
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly
     D                G
He's burling down and down white water
    D                          A          D      
The log driver's waltz pleases girls completely
              D                          A           D
(whistle "The log driver's waltz pleases girls completely")


When the drives nearly over I like to go down
and watch all the lads as they work on the river
I know that come evening they'll be in the town
And we all like to waltz with a log driver

Chorus

To please both my parents I've had to give way
And dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers
Their manners are fine but their feet are of clay
And none have the style of my log driver

Chorus

Now I've had my chances with all sorts of men
But none are so fine as my lad on the river
So when the drive's over if he asks me again
I think I will marry my log driver

Chorus

Chorus (Do not sing "For he goes" on the last chorus)
