{c:verse 1}
If you should [D]ask any girl from the [G]parish a-[Em]round
What [A7]pleases her most from her head to her [D]toes
She’ll [D]say: I’m not sure that it’s [G]business of [Em]yours
But I [A7]do like to waltz with a [D]log driver
{soc}
[A7]For he goes [D]birling down, a-[G]down white water
[D]That’s where the log driver [A7]learns to step lightly
It’s [D]birling down, a-[G]down white water
A [D]log drivers waltz pleases [A7]girls com-[D]pletely
{eoc}
{c:verse 2}
When the [D]drive’s nearly over, I [G]like to go [Em]down
To [A7]see all the lads while they work on the [D]river
I [D]know that come evening they’ll [G]be in the [Em]town
And we [A7]all want to waltz with a [D]log driver
{soc}
[A7]For he goes [D]birling down, a-[G]down white water
[D]That’s where the log driver [A7]learns to step lightly
It’s [D]birling down, a-[G]down white water
A [D]log driver’s waltz pleases [A7]girls com-[D]pletely
{eoc}
{c:verse 3}
To [D]please both my parents, I’ve [G]had to give [Em]way
And [A7]dance with the doctors and merchants and [D]lawyers
Their [D]manners are fine, but their [G]feet are of [Em]clay
For there’s [A7]none with the style of my [D]log driver
{soc}
[A7]For he goes [D]birling down, a-[G]down white water
[D]That’s where the log driver [A7]learns to step lightly
It’s [D]birling down, a-[G]down white water
A [D]log driver’s waltz pleases [A7]girls com-[D]pletely
{eoc}
{c:verse 4}
Now [D]I’ve had my chances with [G]all sorts of [Em]men
But [A7]none as so fine as my lad on the [D]river
So [D]when the drive’s over, if he [G]asks me a-[Em]gain
I [A7]think I will marry my [D]log driver
{soc}
[A7]For he goes [D]birling down, a-[G]down white water
[D]That’s where the log driver [A7]learns to step lightly
It’s [D]birling down, a-[G]down white water
A [D]log driver’s waltz pleases [A7]girls com-[D]pletely
[D]Birling down, a-[G]down white water
A [D]log driver’s waltz pleases [A7]girls com-[D]pletely
{eoc}
