[Verse 1]
Am C Em
Come all you good people and give me some time
Am C Em
A tale I will tell of a time long gone by
Am C Em
To northeast New Brunswick in song we will speed
Am C Am
And sing of the men up the Miramichi.
[Verse 2]
Am C Em
Sing of the swampers who cleared out the roads
Am C Em
And of the teamsters who carried the loads
Am C Em
To the swift runners and drivers they be
Am C Am
Working the woods up the Miramichi. (ch)
[Chorus]
G C D
Come hell or high water, black flies or deep snows
G C Am
The Miramichi Men are the toughest you know
G Am
The Miramichi Men are the tough ones.
[Verse 3]
Am C Em
So here's to the choppers, so quick and so strong
Am C Em
And to the raftsmen who move it along
Am C Em
Here's to the toters, portashers who'll be
Am C Am
Working the woods up the Miramichi (ch)
[Verse 4]
Am C Em
Here's to the Islanders, good with the axe
Am C Em
And those Quebeckers, such fine lumberjacks
Am C Em
To the Boys up from Bangor, down east by the sea
Am C Am
Who all took their turn up the Miramichi. (ch)
[Verse 5]
Am C Em
Here's to the farmers who toiled on the land
Am C Em
And to the fishers down by the sea strand
Am C Em
To the miners and millers wherever ye be
Am C Am
Who all did their time on the Miramichi (ch)
[Verse 6]
Am C Em
So in the evening when the work is all done
Am C Em
We'll gang round the fire for frolic and fun
Am C Em
With fiddles and fly beer a singing they'll be
Am C Am
Of all of the times on the Miramichi. (ch)
[Chorus]
G C D
Come hell or high water, black flies or deep snows
G C Am
The Miramichi Men are the toughest you know
G Am
The Miramichi Men are the tough ones.
