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

G  O
 
 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
