Log Driver's Waltz - Unknown/Sandy Paton/Caroline Paton
You can 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 love to waltz
With my log driver
For he goes burling down
Down white water
That's where the log driver
Learns to step lightly
Burling down
Down white water
The log driver's waltz
Pleases girls completely
For he goes burling down
Down white water
That's where the log driver
Learns to step lightly
Burling down
Down white water
The log driver's waltz
Pleases girls completely
Because of my parents
I have to give way
Dance with the doctors
The merchants the lawyers
Their manners are fine
But their feet are like clay
None has the style
Of my log driver
For he goes burling down
Down white water
That's where the log driver
Learns to step lightly
Burling down
Down white water
The log driver's waltz
Pleases girls completely
When the drive's nearly over
I love to go down
Watch all the men
As they work on the river
When the driver's over
They'll all be in town
And I'll love to waltz
With my log driver
For he goes burling down
Down white water
That's where the log driver
Learns to step lightly
Burling down
Down white water
The log driver's waltz
Pleases girls completely
Now I've had my chances
With all kinds of men
None has the style
Of my man on the river
When the driver's over
And asks me again
And all I sure marry
My log driver
For he goes burling down
Down white water
That's where the log driver
Learns to step lightly
Burling down
Down white water
The log driver's waltz
Pleases girls completely
For he goes burling down
Down white water
That's where the log driver
Learns to step lightly
Burling down
Down white water
The log driver's waltz
Pleases girls completely
