THE LOG DRIVER'S WALTZ
- Wade Hemsworth
INTRO: D, D, D, D  
If you should Dask any Dgirl from the Gparish a-Ground
What Apleases her Amost from her A7SUS4head to her Dtoes
She'll Dsay: I'm Dnot sure that it's Gbusiness of Gyours
But I Ado like to Awaltz with a Dlog driver, A(for he goes)
CHORUS:
For he goes Dbirling Ddown, a-Gdown white Gwater
DThat's where the Dlog driver Alearns to step Alightly
It's Dbirling Ddown, a Gdown white Gwater
               D  D/DSUS7/   D       A             D  D/DSUS7/   D       A  D  
A log drivers waltz pleases girls com-pletely
When the Ddrive's nearly Dover, I Glike to go Gdown
To Asee all the Alads while they A7SUS4work on the rDiver
I Dknow that come Devening they'll Gbe in the Gtown
And we Aall want to Awaltz with a Dlog driver A(for he goes)
(CHORUS)
To please Dboth my parentDs, I've Ghad to give Gway
And Adance with Athe doctors and A7SUS4merchants and Dlawyers
ThDeir manners are Dfine, but their Gfeet are Gof clay
For theAre's none wAith the style Dof a log driveAr (for he goes)
(CHORUS)
I've had Dmy chances with Dall sorGts of menG  
But Anone is so Afine as my lad A7SUS4on the riverD  
So Dwhen the driveD's over, if he aGsks me agaGin
I thiAnk I wiAll marry my lDog driver  (Afor he goes)
(CHORUS) X2

D D D D

INTRO: , , ,

D D G G

If you should ask any girl from the parish a-round

But I do like to waltz with a log driver, (for he goes)

I know that come evening they'll be in the town

And we all want to waltz with a log driver (for he goes)

(CHORUS)

D D G G

To please both my parents, I've had to give way

A A A7SUS4 D

And dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers

Their manners are fine, but their feet are of clay

A A D A

For there's none with the style of a log driver (for he goes)

(CHORUS)

I've had my chances with all sorts of men
