The Canadian Lumberjack
By Stompin' Tom Connors

E                                       B7
If I sang about a saddle, a lassoo, & a gun
                      E       A         B7     E         
You'd think about a cowboy beneath the prarie sun
                                                  B7
But I sing about a pine tree  with a bucksaw & an axe
                E              A      B7    E
I sing about a big man, the Canadian Lumberjack



          A                        E
Cho.. Oh hey to the happy workin' bushman
             B7               E
      Of Canada He's a lumberjack
          A                         E 
      Oh hey, to the master of the bushland
                    B7                   E
      He's born to live by the big broad axe
                    B7                   E
      He's born to live by the big broad axe



E                                                         B7
He'll go up for a giant breackfast, of pancakes, beans & mush
                            E          A       B7         E 
And then you'll hear him whistle all morning through the bush
                                                       B7
And when it comes to hardwork there's just no turning back
                        E       A     B7     E   
That son of a gun of an iron Canadian Lumberjack



Cho...


                                               B7
And when his day is over he'll talk with many chums
                        E             A        B7         E 
He'll sing about his sweetheart he'll wed when springtime comes



Cho...
