Lyrics for Lumbermans Alphabet by Unknown:
| | | Artist: | Unknown |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Lumbermans Alphabet | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 231 | | | | Lyrics: | THE LUMBERMAN'S ALPHABET
A is for axes that you may all know;
And B is for boys that
make them all go;
C is for choppers so early begun
And D is for danger we often stand
in.
CHORUS :
'Tis merry, 'tis merry, 'tis merry are we
No mortal on
earth, so happy as we.
A derry, Lo derry, Ring derry dum.
Give us shantymen's grog and
there'll nothing go wrong.
E is the echo that through the woods rang:
F is the
foreman, head one of our gang;
G is the grindstone so merrily goes round
And H js the
handle, so smoothly 'tis worn.
I is the Iron that mark-ed the pine;
J is the Jov-al
that's never behind;
K is the keen edge our axes we keep
And L is the lice that over us
creep.
M is the moss we patch-ed the cracks
And N is the needle we patch-ed our
pants;
O is the owl that hooteth at night
And P is the pine that always falls
right.
Q is the quarrel we never allow;
R is the river we float our logs down
S
is the sleds so stout and so strong
And T is the teams that go jog 'em along.
U is
the use we put our teams to;
V is the valley we draw our logs through;
W is the woods we
leave in the spring
And this is all I am going to sing.
Note: Many trades, it seems,
had their own alphabets. See also
