E B7
If I sang about a saddle, a lassoo, & a gun
E A B7 E
You'd think about a cowboy beneath the prarie sun
B7
But I sing about a pine tree with a bucksaw & an axe
E A B7 E
I sing about a big man, the Canadian Lumberjack
A E
Cho.. Oh hey to the happy workin' bushman
B7 E
Of Canada He's a lumberjack
A E
Oh hey, to the master of the bushland
B7 E
He's born to live by the big broad axe
B7 E
He's born to live by the big broad axe
E B7
He'll go up for a giant breackfast, of pancakes, beans & mush
E A B7 E
And then you'll hear him whistle all morning through the bush
B7
And when it comes to hardwork there's just no turning back
E A B7 E
That son of a gun of an iron Canadian Lumberjack
Cho...
B7
And when his day is over he'll talk with many chums
E A B7 E
He'll sing about his sweetheart he'll wed when springtime comes
Cho...
