Not a thing on the river McClusky did fear
As he skidded the
log with his big spotted steers.
Says Bull Gordon, the Yankee," You'll have your hands
full
If you skid one log more than my little brown bulls.
They day was appointed and
soon it drew nigh
For twenty-five dollars their fortune to try.
"Twas up to the logs and
then fasten them on
"Hurry up! time's a-wastin' and it's no longer dawn!"
Then
shouted McClusky as they started to pull
"I'll skid two to one of the little brown
bulls."
To his little brown bulls Gordon said," Never fear
For we'll easily beat them,
those big spotted steers."
Now the sun had gone down when the foreman did say,
"Turn
out, boys, turn out. You've enough for the day."
As they scaled them and counted McClusky did
smile
'Til the foreman says, "Mac, you're behind by a mile."
The boys then all
laughed and McClusky did swear
As he tore out in handfuls his long yellow hair.
So it's
fill up your glasses and fill them up full,
And we'll drink to Bull Gordon and his little brown
bulls."
A very popular song, based on a log-skidding contest in Wisconsin
in the
1870s. This version from Folk Songs out of
Wisconsin,(Peters)
