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 

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
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
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
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
