[Verse 1]
It's Bmearly in the morning
When the Ambirds sing in the pines;
The Bmsun peeks through the forest
Where the Dcold Amriver cBmlimbs.
The Bmmen are up at five o'clock
And tAmo the trees at six.
A haBrd day's work, a good night's sleep
Is aDll they eAver mBix.
[Chorus]
BsusWey HBey, its Danother brand new Aday
on the Asuswild & windy Ashores of DOld ASuper - iB-a
BsusWey HBey, its Danother brand new Aday
on the Asuswild & windy Ashores of DOld ASuper - iB-a
[Verse 2]
From BNorth Bay to Fort William
On the rAocky northern shore,
The Bmills are filled with cedar pulp
And the Dboats are Afilled with Bore.
I Bworked in a logging camp,
My dAaddy did before
We're cBalloused hands and weathered skin
And Diron Ato the Bcore.
[Chorus]
BsusWey HBey, its Danother brand new Aday
on the Asuswild & windy Ashores of DOld ASuper - iB-a
BsusWey HBey, its Danother brand new Aday
on the Asuswild & windy Ashores of DOld ASuper - iB-a
[Verse 3]
Now the Bflies are thick and the men get sick,
It's as Acold as it can be,
And Bnothing's unexpected
In the Dnorth Acoun- ter- By.
When the Bsummer ends and the winter comes,
It's Aforty-two below;
We Bsettle down in plywood shacks
And cDover uAp with sBnow.
[Chorus]
BsusWey HBey, its Danother brand new Aday
on the Asuswild & windy Ashores of DOld ASuper - iB-a
BsusWey HBey, its Danother brand new Aday
on the Asuswild & windy Ashores of DOld ASuper - iB-a
[Verse 4]
Now, Bwhen I die I will have seen
The Awonders of the sea,
And I Bwill have climbed the mountains
In the Dwestern Acoun-ter-By.
But Bmost of all I won't forget
The Awild and wondrous thing,
The Bfalling of the timber
When it's eDarly iAn the sBpring.
[Chorus]
BsusWey HBey, its Danother brand new Aday
on the Asuswild & windy Ashores of DOld ASuper - iB-a
BsusWey HBey, its Danother brand new Aday
on the Asuswild & windy Ashores of DOld ASuper - iB-a
