RIVER LIFE. 153 



'Tis when we do go into the woods, 

 We look for timber, and that which is good, 

 Heigh ho! drink round, brave boys, 

 And jolly brave boys are we. 



Now when the choppers begin to chop, 



Drink round, &c.. 

 When the choppers begin to chop, 



Jolly brave boys, &c. ; 



And when the choppers begin to chop, 



They take the sound and leave the rot, 



Heigh ho! drink round, &c.. 



And jolly brave boys, &c. 



And when the swampers begin to clear. 



Drink round, &c.. 

 And when the swampers begin to clear. 



Jolly brave boys, &c. ; 

 And when the swampers begin to clear, 

 They show the teamster where to steer. 

 Heigh ho ! drink round, &c.. 

 And jolly brave boys, &c. 



And when we get them on to the sled, 



Drink round, &c., 

 And when we get them on to the sled, 



Jolly brave boys, &.c. ; 

 And when we get them on to the sled, 

 ' Haw ! back. Bright !' it goes ahead, 

 Heigh ho! drink round, &c., 

 And jolly brave boys, &c. 



Then, when we get them on to the stream. 



Drink round, &c.. 

 Then, when we get them on to the stream. 



Jolly brave boys, &c. ; 

 So, when we get them on to the stream. 

 We'll knock out the fid and roll them in, 

 Heigh ho ! drink round, &c.. 

 Jolly brave boys, &c.
