The Log Driver's WaltzTraditional

I Can Sing, 2004

I Can Sing, 2004

The Log Driver’s WaltzIf you should ask any girl from the parish aroundWhat 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.

[Chorus]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 downTo see all the lads while they work on the river.I know that come evening that they’ll be in townAnd we all want to waltz with a log driver.

[Chorus]

To please both my parents I’ve had to give wayAnd dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers.Their manners are fine but their feet are of clayFor there’s none with the style of a log driver.

[Chorus]

I’ve had my chances with all sorts of menBut 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.

Over the river and through the wood,To have a full day of play.Oh, hear the bells ringing “ting-a-ling ling,”For it’s Thanksgiving Day.Over the river and through the wood,Trot fast, my dapple gray.Spring o’er the ground just like a hound.Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river and through the wood,And straight through the barnyard gate.It seems that we go so dreadfully slow,It is hard to wait.Over the river and through the wood,Now grandma’s cap I spy.Hurrah for fun, the pudding’s done,Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

I Can Sing, 2004

Scarborough FairAre you going to Scarborough Fair?Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.Remember me to one who lives there.She was once a true love of mine.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt.Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.Without a seam or needle work.Then she’ll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to find me an acre of land.Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.Between the sea and over the sand.Then she’ll be a true love of mine.
