Over the snowsA
Buoyantly goesA
The lumberers' bark canoeB
Lightly they sweepC
Wilder each leapC
Bending the white caps throughB
Away awayD
With the speed of a startled deerE
While the steersman trueB
And his laughing crewB
Sing of their wild careerE
-
Mariners glideF
Far o'er the tideF
In ships that are staunch and strongG
Safely as theyD
Speed we awayD
Waking the woods with songG
Away awayD
With the flight of a startled deerE
While the laughing crewB
Of the swift canoeB
Sing of the raftsmen's cheerE
-
Through forest and brakeH
O'er rapid and lakeH
We're sport for the sun and rainI
Free as the childJ
Of the Arab wildJ
Hardened to toil and painI
-
Away awayD
With the speed of a startled deerE
While our buoyant flightK
And the rapid's mightK
Heighten our swift careerE
-
Over the snowsA
Buoyantly goesA
The lumberers' bark canoeB
Lightly they sweepC
Wilder each leapC
Tearing the white caps throughB
Away awayD
With the speed of a startled deerE
There's a fearless crewB
In each light canoeB
To sing of the raftsmen's cheerE
