Slumberjack

As the northern lights come out
And the forest goes to bed
The Great Canadian Slumberjack
Starts singin’ ’bove your head

From the pines of the big woods
Spreadin’ sawdust and sand
With an ax and with a saw
To the dreamers of the northern land

Singin' see what ya saw
And saw what you see
Saw the logs of Slumbertown
Without cuttin' down a tree

When the songs have been sung
And the prayers have been said
The Great Canadian Slumberjack
Starts singin’ ’bove your head

From the waters of the eastern sea
To the hills where the redwoods stand
With an ax and with a saw
Just dreamin’ of the northern land

Singin' see what ya saw
And saw what you see
Saw the logs of Slumbertown
Without cuttin' down a tree

All you mothers rest ya bones
And you fathers drift away
And ya children close your eyes
With the hopes of a comin’ day

Singin' see what ya saw
And saw what you see
Saw the logs of Slumbertown
Without cuttin' down a tree
