Song: | 6 7 7 7 -8 8 -8 7 7 7
A was the ax as you very well know. -6 -5 -5 -5 -6 -7 7 -6 6 B was the boys who could use them so. 6 8 8 8 -9 7 7 -9 -9 -9 C was the chopping we early began. 8 8 8 8 -9 8 8 -6 -7 7 D was the danger so often we ran. Chorus 6 6 7 7 7 8 8 -8 7 7 7 So merry, so merry, so merry are we. 7 -6 -6 -5 -5 -6 7 -7-6 6 Oh, we are the lads, we're out on a spree. 6 8 8 8 8 7 7 -9 -9 8 Hi derry, ho derry, hi derry down. 7 -8 -8 -8 -8 Give shanty boys grub -9 8 -8 -6 -7 7 and there's nothing goes wrong. E was the echo that through the woods rang. F was the foreman, the head of our gang. G was the grindstone so round and so smooth. H was the handle so swiftly did move. Chorus I was the iron that marked the pine. J was the jovial lads, never behind. K was the keen edges our axes did keep. L was the lice that kept us from sleep. Chorus M was the moss we worked in our camp. N was the needle with which we mended our pants. O was the owl tha hooted at nigh. P was the pine that we always felled right. Chorus Q was the quarrels we did not allow. R was the rivers our boys did not plow. S was the sled so stout and so strong. T was the team that hauled them along. Chorus U was the use we put our teams to. V was the valley we hauled our logs through. W was the woods we left in the spring. Now I have sung all I'm going to sing Chorus These last three letters I can't get to rhyme But I'll tell you I love you and hope I'm in time. |
