R-J, Phil excelled himself - lyrics arrived an hour after my request. Great song.

THE TIMBERCUTTERS SONG
(Alan Mann)

In the timber tall and green along the line
You can hear the magpies call and the crickets sing
These sounds the steel will join as the bush saws scrape and whine
You’ll hear the echoes as our axes ring

The teamster all too soon he moves on in
And the logs we cleared to the line he moves away
Eight horses four-be-two and the two-wheel wooden whim
And that axle groans at least six times a day

(Chorus)
Keep those logs rolling boys, down to the mill me boys
Keep those logs a-rolling down
And we'll push the cross cuts through just to show what we can do
And we’ll pave all the streets of London Town

Well the mill train sweats and strains most all the day
Down the twenty mile of track that feeds the mill
Stoker keeps the firebox full with the off-cuts from the day
So later on she’ll make the three-mile hill

And at the mill first tails grip and bark the logs
And then roll them to the benchman standing by
And he’ll slip the mill saw through ne'er care she slips or bogs
And it's then you’ll see the chips and sawdust fly

Chorus

And the planks to the world we’ll ship away
When the weather’s fine, they'll go the Hamelin side
When the nor-wester comes on in, then it’s round by Flinders Bay
On that rolling surf you’ll see the good ships ride

Spare a thought for those chaps who're workin' hard
Next time you walk the streets of London Town
In the forest, at the mill, on the line or in the yard
Just keeping those logs a-rolling down

Chorus
