The Log Drivers Waltz

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)
