ONCE MORE A-LUMBERING GO



Ye mighty sons of freedom

Who round the mountains range

Come all you gallant lumber boys

And listen to my song

On the banks of the sweet Saranac

Where its limpid waters flow

We'll range the wild woods over

And once more a-lumbering go



Once more a-lumbering go

And we'll range the wild woods over

And once more a-lumbering go



To the music of our axes

We'll make the woods resound

And many a tall and lofty pine

Comes tumbling to the ground

At night, around our good campfire

We'll sing while cold winds blow

We'll range the wild woods over

And once more a-lumbering go



You may talk about your parties

Your parties and your plays

But pity us poor lumber boys

Go bouncing on our sleighs

But we ask no better pastime

Than to hunt the buck and doe

We'll range the wild woods over

And once more a-lumbering go



When winter it is over

And the icebound streams are free

We'll drive our logs to Glen Falls

And we'll haste our girls to see

With plenty to drink and plenty to eat

Back to the world we'll go

We'll range the wild woods over

And once more a-lumbering go
