Once More A-Lumbering Go

As Sung By Judy Cook

Once More A-Lumbring Go Start F Key Bb

Ye mighty sons of freedom who round the mountains range
Come all you gallant lumberboys and listen to my song
On the banks of the sweet Saranac where its limpid waters flow
We'll range the wild woods over and once more a lumbring go

Once more a-lumbring go,
And we'll range the wild woods over and once more a-lumbring go.

To the music of our axes we will make the woods resound
And many a tall and lofty pine comes tumbling to the ground
At night, around our good campfire we'll sing while the cold winds blow
We'll range the wild woods over and once more a lumbring go

Once more a-lumbring go
And we'll range the wild woods over and once more a-lumbring go.

You may talk about your parties, your parties and your plays
But pity us poor lumber boys go bouncing on our sleighs
But we ask no better pastime than to hunt the buck and doe
We'll range the wild woods over and once more a lumbring go

Once more a-lumbring go
And we'll range the wild woods over and once more a-lumbring go.

When winter it is over and the ice-bound streams are free,
We'll take our logs to Glen Falls and we'll haste our girls to see
With plenty to eat and plenty to drink, back to the world we'll go
We'll range the wild woods over and once more a lumbring go

Once more a-lumbring go
And we'll range the wild woods over and once more a-lumbring go.
