With a few very minor variations, the words used by Alan Mills on his 1959 album Songs of the Maritimes: Lumberman Songs and Songs of the Sea are as given by "meself" on 22 Mar 10 - 12:38 AM

Oh, the Jones boys,
They built a mill,
On the side of the hill,
And they worked all night,
And they worked all day,
But they couldn't make that god-darned sawmill pay.

Oh, the Jones boys,
They built a still,
On the top of the hill,
And they worked one night,
And they worked one day,
And, Lord, how that little old still did pay!
