Come all you brave young shabby boys [C] and listen to my song
It's all about the shabby [D] boys and how [Dm] they get along
They look so neat and clever [C] so handsome and [Am] so fine
[Dm]
They spend away their winter months [A] a cutting down the vine
The choppers and the sawyers [C] they cut their timber low
The rollers and the swampers they [Dm] roll into and fro
Up comes the team [C] start just at [Am] break of day
[Dm] Load up your sleighs with a thousand feet [A] down the river race away
[C#]
[D] Crack snap goes the [Am] whip we whistle [C] and we sing
We set up on our timber load just [E] happy as any [A] king
[Dm] Our horses always ready boys for [C] strength they never lack
No one's ever let a happier life [Am] reject the [Dm] lumberjack
The ringing of our axes [C] until the sun goes down
Lie down you two the foreman [D] cries to the shanty we [Dm] are bound
Straight to the shanty [C] with socks and gold [Am] feet
[A] We must take off our socks and boots and supper we must [Dm] eat
Supper is over we [C] sing a summer tune
We all pick up our bobs and smoke till every finger's blue
Nine o'clock comes handy and to our homes [Am] we climb
And [Dm] dream about the present [Am] time a cutting down [A] the vine
[Dm]
Spring grows all us boys and [C] happy'll be the day
Some go through their home sweet homes while [Dm] others stay away
All winter in the wild woods all [C] winter to [Am] remain
And we'll think about the pleasant [A] time when we'll return [Dm] again
[D] Crack snap go the whips [C] we whistle and we sing
[D] No one's ever led [Cm] a happier [Em] life than Jack the [G#] [C#] Lumberjack
[G] [Dm]
It's all about the shabby [D] boys and how [Dm] they get along
