[D] [D] [D] [D]
If you should [D] ask any [D] girl from the [G] parish a-[G]round
What [A] pleases her[A] most from her [A7sus4] head to her [D] toes
She'll [D] say: I'm [D] not sure that it's [G] business of [G] yours
But I [A] do like to [A] waltz with a [D] log driver, ([A] for he goes)
{c: }
For he goes [D] birling [D] down, a-[G]down white [G] water
[D] That's where the [D] log driver [A] learns to step [A] lightly
It's [D] birling [D] down, a [G] down white [G] water
A [D] log drivers waltz [Dsus4] pleases [D] girls [A] com-[D]pletely [D] [Dsus4] [D] [A] [D]
{c: }
When the [D] drive's nearly [D] over, I [G] like to go [G] down
To [A] see all the [A] lads while they [A7sus4] work on the [D] river
I [D] know that come [D] evening they'll [G] be in the [G] town
And we [A] all want to [A] waltz with a [D] log driver ([A] for he goes)
{c: }
For he goes [D] birling [D] down, a-[G]down white [G] water
[D] That's where the [D] log driver [A] learns to step [A] lightly
It's [D] birling [D] down, a [G] down white [G] water
A [D] log drivers waltz [Dsus4] pleases [D] girls [A] com-[D]pletely [D] [Dsus4] [D] [A] [D]
{c: }
To please [D] both my parents, [D] I've had to [G] give way
And [A] dance with the [A] doctors and [A7sus4] merchants and [D] lawyers
[D] Their manners are [D] fine, but their [G] feet are of [G] clay
For there's [A] none with the [A] style of a [D] log driver ([A] for he goes)
{c: }
For he goes [D] birling [D] down, a-[G]down white [G] water
[D] That's where the [D] log driver [A] learns to step [A] lightly
It's [D] birling [D] down, a [G] down white [G] water
A [D] log drivers waltz [Dsus4] pleases [D] girls [A] com-[D]pletely [D] [Dsus4] [D] [A] [D]
{c: }
I've had [D] my chances with [D] all [G] sorts of [G] men
But [A] none is so [A] fine as my [A7sus4] lad on the [D] river
So [D] when the drive's [D] over, if he [G] asks me again
I [A] think I will marry my [D] log driver ([A] for he goes)
{c: }
For he goes [D] birling [D] down, a-[G]down white [G] water
[D] That's where the [D] log driver [A] learns to step [A] lightly
It's [D] birling [D] down, a [G] down white [G] water
A [D] log drivers waltz [Dsus4] pleases [D] girls [A] com-[D]pletely [D] [Dsus4] [D] [A] [D]
