lyrics

By a lazy old river in the late afternoon the still air is ripped by the sound
Of a chainsaw at work and of logs being sawn as the sawdust piles up on the ground....

When the work is all done and the drinking begun he gets out his banjo to play
Sitting picking those strings as he gently sings, the sun sets on a beautiful day

CHORUS
Chainsaws and banjos and life on the water
A person could ask for no more
As he opens a beer, he proffers a CHEERS !!
Then he opens another and pours

MID 8
At the end of daylight and way into the night he sits, drinks and plays as he sings
Many stories are told of times now and old and perhaps what the future may bring

As a new day comes 'round, once more there’s the sound as the saw cuts it's way through the wood
It's a joy not a job as he cuts up those logs and he sings to himself life is good

CHORUS

Then he opens another and pours
