If you 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 do like to waltz with a log driver
For he goes burling down, down the white water
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly
Burling down, down the white water
The log driver's waltz pleases girls completely
When the drive's nearly over they like to go down
And watch all the lads as they work on the river
When evening comes around they'll all be in town
And they'll all want to waltz with the log driver
For he goes burling down, down the white water
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly
Burling down, down the white water
The log driver's waltz pleases girls completely
To please both her parents, She's had to give way
And dance with the doctors, the lawyers and the merchants
Their manners are fine, but their feet are of clay
There's none with the style of her log driver
For he goes burling down, down the white water
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly
Burling down, down the white water
The log driver's waltz pleases girls completely
Now I've she's had her chances with all types of men
But none as so fine as her lad on the river
For when he comes down and asks her again
She thinks that she'll marry a log driving man
And he goes burling down, down the white water
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly
Burling down, down the white water
The log driver's waltz pleases girls completely
Burling down, down the white water
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly
Burling down, down the white water
The log driver's waltz pleases girls completely
