Tim O'Brien Lyrics
My Girl's Waiting For Me / River Driving Lyrics
River drivin on the Sacandaga
Floatin on a slippery log
Sleepin in a frozen bog
My girl�s waitin for me
Hard boiled eggs three times a day
Wet as beavers we hit the hay
Not much sleep but great good pay
My girl�s waitin for me
Big French Joe and I went out
To break a jam when I heard him shout
Prenez guard and the jam went out
My girl�s waitin for me
Big French Joe the logs drowned him
He had no chance to fight or swim
With the logs jammed up to the river�s rim
My girl�s waitin for me
His girl comes to me and cries
If he�s dead then I shall die
My petit he used to sigh
My girl�s waitin for me
We will find him down below
Around the bend where the water is slow
Floatin with his pike in tow
My girl�s waitin for me
My petit will wring her hands
As we scrape away at the yellow sand
And bury him by the river strand
My girl�s waitin for me
One more night and one more day
And the logs will reach the river bay
I�ll skin off these togs and I will say
My girl�s waitin for me
