THE BOYS WHO SAW THE PINE"
We are jolly party,
Oftoil we have no fear;
Our dispositions are the same
Each day throughout the year;
But never is happier time,
In all our times so fine.
AS when the mill is running,
ana the saw goes through the pine.
d. w. is the Captain,
,Iis he that pays the freight,
The money g ready every night
he does not make us wait.
His pleasant manners never change
He says he would not mind
II every log upon the job
Was good old solid pine
Erwin holds the lever
And Lee, he files the saws
Til they cut through the timber,
Without a hitch or flaw
Herman keeps the logs at hand
And rolls Il EN- into line,
AS merrIly the saw cuts through
The hemlock and the pine
Ed Faucet makes the engine steam,
And oils the balance wheel;
III e sets the valves and corks the fews
And polishes the steel.
''Old Huldy' pops with boiler full,
She surely makes good time
While putting power behind the saw
That cuts the oak and pine.
Harvey runs the trimmer,
And Bill, the old tal-saw,
