Subject: RE: Mystery lumberjack song-Sur La Grande Cote
The tune is the same but the lyrics are not. The French-Canadian means...

On the big/large/high coast she climbed
She lost her apron

(Turlutte*)
Ti ta ti dla dla dla lam
Ti ta ti dla dla dla lam

She lost her apron
It was a passing man who picked it up

It was a passing man who picked it up
It takes a man who is not too shy

It takes a man who is not too shy
Asking girls to kiss them

Asking girls to kiss them
It wasn't a song I wanted to sing to you

It wasn't a song I wanted to sing to you
It's a little reel, let me tell/reel it off to- you

*Please note that turlutte is a Canadian French music term. In France French, it's either a fishing bait or a blowjob (most spread use) .
