There walked on Plover's shady banks
One evening last
July
A mother of a shanty boy
And doleful was her cry
Saying, "God be with you,
Johnny
Although you're far away
Driving saw logs on the Plover
And you'll never get
your pay
"Oh Johnny, I gave you schooling
I gave you a trade likewise
You need
not been a shanty boy
Had you taken my advice
You need not gone from your dear
home
To the forest far away
Driving saw logs on the Plover
And you'll never get your
pay
"Come all young men take warning
And listen to what I say
Driving saw logs on the
Plover
And you'll never get your pay
"Oh Johnny, you were your father's
hope
Your mother's only joy
Why is it that you ramble so
My own, my darling
boy?
Oh what could induce you, Johnny
From your own dear home to stray
Driving saw
logs on the Plover
And you'll never get your pay
"Why didn't you stay upon the
farm
And feed the ducks and hens
And drive the pigs and sheep each night
And put them
in their pens
For better for you to help your dad
To cut his corn and hay
Than drive
saw logs on the Plover
And you'll never get your pay
"Come all young men take
warning
And listen to what I say
Driving saw logs on the Plover
And you'll never get
your pay"
A log canoe came floating
A down the quiet stream
As peacefully it
glided
As in some young lover's dream
A youth stepped out upon the bank
And thus to
her did say
"Dear mother, I have jumped the game
And I haven't got my
pay"
