Verse 1:

       D                     G
If you ask any girl from the parish around
     A                         Asus2       D
What pleases her most from her head to her toes
       D                           G
She'll say, I'm not sure that it's business of yours
      A                       D
But I do like to waltz with a log driver

Chorus 1:

A           D                G
For he goes birling down and down white water
D                           A
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly
     D                G
It's birling down and down white water
  D                          A        D        D  A  D
A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely


Verse 2:

         D                      G
When the drive's nearly over, I like to go down
    A                          Asus2       D
And watch all the lads as they work on the river
  D                               G
I know that come evening, they'll be in the town
       A                          D
And we all like to waltz with the log driver


Chorus 2:

A           D                G
For he goes birling down and down white water
D                           A
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly
     D                G
It's birling down and down white water
  D                          A        D        D  A  D
A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely


Verse 3:

   D                            G
To please both my parents, I've had to give way
    A                          Asus2         D
And dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers
      D                          G
Their manners are fine but their feet are of clay
            A                         D
For there's none with the style of my log driver


Chorus 3:

A           D                G
For he goes birling down and down white water
D                           A
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly
     D                G
It's birling down and down white water
  D                          A        D        D  A  D
A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely


Verse 4:

    D                        G
Now I've had my chances with all sorts of men
    A                     Asus2      D
But none as so fine as my lad on the river
   D                            G
So when the drive's over, if he asks me again
  A                     D
I think I will marry my log driver


Chorus 4:

A           D                G
For he goes birling down and down white water
D                           A
That's where the log driver learns to step lightly
     D                G
It's birling down and down white water
  D                          A        D
A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely
D                G
Birling down and down white water
  D                          A         D       A  D
A log driver's waltz pleases girls com-pletely
