Chords for Hal Willis Sings 'The Lumberjack.'

_ _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _
Well, I walk along the river with my new sweet [G] saw With a file in the pocket of my old [A] Mackinnoe
I'm a-hittin' for the wood each a-morning at the [D] break of day _
As I take a little shortcut over the [G] hill I can hear the whistle blow at the old [A] sawmill
It's the night gang a-leavin' for the bunkhouse [D] across the bay _
[A] Well, I'm a-sittin' on the tree stump eatin' Johnny [E] Cake
I heard the whistle blow, I had to take a break I'm a-poulin' up my tea in an old tin can
Cause that is the life of a lumberjack man
_ _ [D] I'm gonna cut me a jack by a tall and [G] limber You better step aside when I haul her [A] timber
My double-dead axe is gonna make the [D] big chips fly
_ Well, when the cut is clean I'll set my wedge [G] And I'll drive her into place with an outbound [A] sledge
I've already picked a spot where the big breeze a [D]-gonna lie

[D] Well, the swamper's getting ready to take my [G] load
Skidding off my log and pile them on the road
[A] I'm waiting for the jammer to put them on [D] the sleigh

[D] Well, the boss man to come in to scale my [G] lumber
I better make sure that he's got the right number
