Thread Name: ADD: Woodsman's Alphabet / Lumberman's Alphabet
Subject: RE: The Alphabet Song
There is a Woodsman's Alphabet song on an old 10 inch LP in my music cabinet, which starts:
A is for axe, as you very well know.
B is for the boys, that use them just so.
C is for the chopping that soon will begin
And D is for the danger that we always stand in!
Sing Hi derry O! So merry are we
There's no-one one half as happy as we.
Sing Hi derry O! Hi, derry dong!
At the woodsman's shanty there's nothin' goes wrong.
I disremember most of the rest of it, but I'll dig it out and post the complete text for the DT. Now if I could only submit the tune, too!
