C#m B C#m
C# shanty man's life is a wearisome one
B C#m
Though some say it's free from care
G# C#m
It's the swinging of an axe
B
From morning 'till night
C#m A C#m
In the forest wild and drear
C#m B C#m
Transported as we are from a lady so fair
B C#m
To the banks of some lonely stream
G# C#m
Where the wolf, bear, and owl
B
Give a terrifying howl
C#m A C#m
And disturb our nightly dreams
C#m B C#m
Oh sleeping at night in our bunks without cheer
B C#m
While the cold winter winds do blow
G# C#m
But as soon as the morning
B
Star does appear
C#m A C#m
To the wild woods we must go
B C#m
Had we ale, wine, or beer our spirits for to cheer
B C#m
When we're in those woods so wild
G# C#m
Where a glass of whiskey shone
B
When we're in the woods alone
C#m A C#m
For to pass away our long exile
B C#m
Shantying, I’ll give o’er when I landed safe on shore
B C#m
And I’ll lead a different life
G# C#m
No more will I roam
B
but contented stay at home
C#m A C#m
With a happy little smiling wife
B C#m
C# shanty man's life is a wearisome one
B C#m
Though some say it's free from care
G# C#m
It's the swinging of an axe
B
From morning 'till night
C#m A C#m
In the forest wild and drear
C#m A C#m A C#m
There you go, enjoy!
