Poetry A Lumbering Go

Come all you sons of freedom, that run the Saginaw stream; Come all you jolly shanty boys and listen to thy theme. We’ll cross the Tittabawassee where the rolling waters flow, And we’ll roam the wild woods over and once more a lumbering go.

When the frost is on the valley, and the snow conceals the wood, The farmer has enough to do to get the family food. Little time he has for pleasure or to hunt the buck and doe; And he’ll roam the wild woods over and once more a lumbering go.

You may talk about your farm, your fine houses and your home; But think of us poor shanty boys, as through the woods we roam. Beside a bright camp fire at night, we sing while wild winds blow; And we roam the wild woods over and once more a lumbering go.

With our cross saw and our axes, we make the woods resound, While many a tall and stately tree comes crashing to the ground. With our axes on our shoulders and our boots top deep in snow. We will roam the wild woods over and once more a lumbering go.

Then when navigation opens, and the water runs so free, We’ll run our logs to Saginaw and there the girls we’ll see. With open arms they’ll welcome us and love it well we know, We will stay with them all summer and once more a lumbering go.

When our lumbering days are over, and the woods have lost their charm, We will take to us each man a wife and settle on a farm. We will have enough to eat and drink and as we older grow, We will tell our wives of our hard time and no more a lumbering go.

Song of Michigan’s Woods

Let’s sing a song of Michigan, our dear old forest home, A song of life and gladsome strife as through the woods we roam, A song of brave and noble hearts, the rugged life we led, The forest carpet ‘neath our feet, the blue sky over head.

The hunt, the shot, the high pursuit, the conquered bear or dear, The camp, the night, the bright-fire light, the good and honest cheer, The sweet sound sleep on fragrant boughs by camp-fires b lazing high, Unbroken by the wild cat scream, or by the horned owl’s cry.

We felt it was a joy to live a free and happy band, Protected in the wilderness by Heaven’s helping hand; Our temples then were earth and sky, no other did we know, In days when we were lumberjacks some forty years ago.

Chorus:

The waves of life danced merrily, and joyous was their flow, Those days when we were lumberjacks some forty years ago.
