Return to Lumberjack City

I was walking through the bush one winter’s day

When suddenly this axe comes flying my way

I turned around, said, “What the hey”

This is gonna be my judgement day

Well, there he stood about six foot four

A big beer belly, bear claws galore

I asked him why he was acting so sore

“Hey, listen bud, and I’ll tell ya why for”

Lumberjack City, that’s where I’m from

Lumberjack City - ya might wanna run

Drink your beer, we’ll drink your rum

Lumberjack City - come on!

We hiked along as the wind did blow

Listen buddy, it’s a ways to go

We grabbed a canoe and we started to row

And found that camp up in the snow

He looked at me, well eye to eye

Then I saw the timber stacked a mile high

Big kegs o’beer and lots of fish to fry

Then he gave me a big shot of rye

Lumberjack City, that’s where I’m from

Lumberjack City - ya might wanna run

Drink your beer, we’ll drink your rum

Lumberjack City - come on!

If you’re looking for work, well this is it

You better come ready as a fiddle is fit

Always be ready to live by your wits

‘Cos the bears will chew up the ones that quit

Lumberjack City, that’s where I’m from

Lumberjack City - ya might wanna run

Drink your beer, we’ll drink your rum

Lumberjack City - come on!
