lyrics

Come all you sons of freedom And listen to my theme
Come all you roving lumberjacks that run the Saginaw stream
We’ll cross the Tittabawassee Where the mighty waters roll
and we’ll roam the wild woods over and once more a-lumb’ring go
and once more a-lumb’ring go
We will roam the wild woods over and once more a-lumb’ring go

When white frost takes the valley and the snow conceals the woods
The lumberjack has enough to do to find his family food
No time he has for pleasure or to hunt the buck and doe
he will roam the wild woods over and once more a-lumb’ring go
and once more a-lumb’ring go
We will roam the wild woods over and once more a-lumb’ring go

With our crosscut saws and axes we will make the woods resound
And many a tall and stately tree will come crashing to the ground
With canthooks on our shoulders and our boot tops deep in snow
We will roam the wild woods over and once more a-lumb’ring go
and once more a-lumb’ring go
We will roam the wild woods over and once more a-lumb’ring go

When navigation opens and the waters run so free
We’ll drive our logs to Saginaw once more our girls to see
They will all be there to welcome and our hearts in raptures flow
We we’ll stay with them through summer
And once more a-lumb’ring go
and once more a-lumb’ring go
We we’ll stay with them through summer
And once more a-lumb’ring go
