If you ask any girl From the parish around What pleases her most From her head to her toes She'll say I'm not sure That it's business of yours But I do like to waltz with my Logdriver
For he goes whirling down and down the white water That's where the Logdriver learns to step lightly Yes whirling down and down the white water Logdriver's waltz pleases girls completely
When the drive's nearly over I like to go down and watch all the men as they work on the river They know that come evening they'll be in the town And we all like to waltz with our Logdriver
To please both my parents I had to give way, and dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers Their manners are fine But their feet are aflame, and none can compare with my Logdriver
I've taken my chances with all sorts of men But none can compare with my lad on the river And when the drive's over If he asks me again I think I will marry my Logdriver
Farewell To Nova Scotia...
The sun was setting in the west The birds were singing on ev'ry tree All nature seemed inclined to rest But still there was no rest for me
Farewell to Nova Scotia, the sea-bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be And when I am far away on the briny oceans tossed Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me?
I grieve to leave my native land I grieve to leave my comrades all And my aged parents whom I always held so dear And the bonnie, bonnie lass that I do adore
The drums they do beat and the wars do alarm The captain calls, we must obey So farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charms For it's early in the morning I am far, far away
I have three brothers and they are at rest Their arms are folded on their breast But a poor simple sailor just like me Must be tossed and driven on the dark blue sea
