A                      D 
River drivin on the Sacandaga 
A               E 
Floatin on a slippery log 
A              D 
Sleepin in a frozen bog 
 E                   A 
My girl’s waitin for me 

 A                              D 
Hard boiled eggs three times a day 
 A                 E 
Wet as beavers we hit the hay 
 A                   D 
Not much sleep but great good pay 
 E                   A 
My girl’s waitin for me 

INTERLUDE 

A                          D 
Big French Joe and I went out 
A                        E 
To break a jam when I heard him shout 
A                     D 
Prenez guard and the jam went out 
 E                   A 
My girl’s waitin for me 

 A                               D 
Big French Joe the logs drowned him 
 A                    E  
He had no chance to fight or swim 
 A                               D 
With the logs jammed up to the river’s rim 
 E                   A 
My girl’s waitin for me 

SOLO 
  
 A                        D  
His girl comes to me and cries 
 A                    E 
If he’s dead then I shall die 
 A            D         
My petit he used to sigh 
 E                   A 
My girl’s waitin for me 

 A                     D 
We will find him down below 
 A                         E 
Around the bend where the water is slow 
 A                 D    
Floatin with his pike in tow 
 E                   A 
My girl’s waitin for me 

INTERLUDE 

 A                       D 
My petit will wring her hands 
 A                         E 
As we scrape away at the yellow sand 
 A                    D  
And bury him by the river strand 
 E                   A 
My girl’s waitin for me 

 A                           D 
One more night and one more day 
 A                           E 
And the logs will reach the river bay 
 A                           D 
I’ll skin off these togs and I will say 
 E                   A 
My girl’s waitin for me
