Well, [D] I walk along the river with my new sweet [G] saw
With a file in the pocket of my home I [A] can know
I'm a-headin' for the wool-pitchin' morning at [D] the break of day _
As I think a little short thought over [G] the 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 Cake
I heard the whistle blow, I had to take a break
I'm a-poulin' up my tea in an old tin [E] can
Cause that is [A] the life of a lumberjack man
_ _ [D] I'm on a cut near Jack by a tall and [G] limber
You better step aside when I haul her [A] timber
My double-decker's gonna make the [D] big chips fly
[A] _ [D] Oh, when the cut is clean I'll set my [G] wedge
And I'll drive her in the fleece with an outbound [A] sledge
I've already picked a spot where this big breeze a [D]-gonna lie _ _ _ _ _ _

[D] Well, the swimmer's gettin' ready to take my [G] load
Skiddin' off my logs and pile them on the [A] road
I'm a-waitin' for the jammer to put them [D] on the sleigh
_ [A] _
[D] Well, the boss man's a-comin' to scale my [G] lumber
I better make sure that he's got the right [A] number
Before I let the logs go a-rollin' [D] on her _ _ _
