• Shanty Man's Life (Stephen Harrison Paulus cover)

A shanty man's life is a wearisome one,
Though some say it's free from care.
It's the swinging of an axe
From morning till night
In the forest wild and drear.

Transported as we are from a lady so fair
To the banks of some lonely stream
Where the wolf, bear and owl
Give a terrifying howl
And disturb our nightly dreams.

Oh, sleeping at night
In our bunks without cheer
While the cold winter winds do blow.
But as soon as the morning star does appear
To the wild woods we must go.

Had we ale, wine or beer
Our spirits far to cheer
When we're in those woods so wild.
Where a glass of whiskey shone
When we're in the woods alone
For to pass away our long exile.

A shanty man's life is a wearisome one,
Though some say it's free from care.
It's the swinging of an axe
From morning till night
In the forest wild and drear.
