If you should ask any girl from the parish around

What pleases her most from her head to her toes

She'll say, "I'm not sure that it's business of yours

But I do like to waltz with a log driver".

For he goes birling down a-down the white water

That's where the log driver learns to step lightly

It's birling down, a-down white water

A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely.

When the drive's nearly over, I like to go down

To see all the lads while they work on the river

I know that come evening they'll be in the town

And we all want to waltz with a log driver.

For he goes birling down a-down the white water

That's where the log driver learns to step lightly

It's birling down, a-down white water

A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely.

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

For there's none with the style of a log driver.

For he goes birling down a-down the white water

That's where the log driver learns to step lightly

It's birling down, a-down white water

A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely.

I've had my chances with all sorts of men

But none is 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.

For he goes birling down a-down the white water

That's where the log driver learns to step lightly

It's birling down, a-down white water

A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely.
