There is one class of men_ in this coun_-try_ _ that never is_ mentioned in_ song__
And now_ since their trade is ad vancing __ they'll come out_ on top_ before_ long__
They say that our sailors have danger __ and likewise our war-ri-ors bold__
But there's none know the life of a dri_-ver __ what he suffers_ with hardship and cold__
With their pike poles and peavies and bateaus_ and all__
They're sure_ to drive out in the spring_ that's_ the time__
With the caulks on their boots as they get on_ the logs__
And it's hard_ to get over their| _ time__| __
_| _ _| _ _| _ _| _ _|
Bill Dorothey_ he is the manager_ _ and he's a good man_ at the trade__
And when he's a round seeking drivers_ _ he's like a train going down grade__
But still he is a man_ that's kind hearted_ _ on his word you always_ de pend__
And there's never a man that works with him __ but likes to go_ with him a gain__
With their pike poles and peavies and bateaus_ and all__
They're sure_ to drive out in the spring_ that's_ the time__
With the caulks on their boots as they get on_ the logs__
And it's hard_ to get over their| _ time__| __
_| _ _| _ _| _ _| _ _|
I tell you_ to day home in London __ the times_ it is read by each man__
But little_ they think of the fellows_ _ that drove_ the wood on Mary Ann__
For paper is made out of pulpwood_ _ and many things more_ you may know_ _
And long may our men live to drive it __ upon Pay-me- och and Tom joe_ _
With their pike poles and peavies and bateaus_ and all__
They're sure_ to drive out in the spring_ that's_ the time__
With the caulks on their boots as they get on_ the logs__
And it's hard_ to get over their| _ time__| __
_| _ _| _ _| _ _| _ _|
The drive_ it is_ just below_ Badger_ _ and every thing_ is working grand_ _
With a jolly_ good crew of picked drivers __ and Ronald_ Kelly in_ com mand_
For Ronald_ is boss_ on_ the river_ _ and he's one man that's_ a live__
He drove the wood off Vic toria __ now he's out on the main river drive__
With their pike poles and peavies and bateaus_ and all__
They're sure_ to drive out in the spring_ that's_ the time__
With the caulks on their boots as they get on_ the logs__
And it's hard_ to get over their| _ time_ _| _

So now to con clude and to finish_ _ I hope that ye all will a gree__
In wishing_ suc cess to all_ Badger_ _ and the A._N. D._ Compa ny__
And long may they live for_ to flourish_ _ and continue to chop_ drive and roll__
And long may the business be managed_ _ by Mr. Dorothey and Mr. Cole_ _
With their pike poles and peavies and bateaus_ and all__
They're sure_ to drive out in the spring_ that's_ the time__
With the caulks on their boots as they get on_ the logs__
And it's hard_ to get over their| _ time__| __ _| _ _| _ _| _ _| _ _|
