(G major)
Verse 1
Now, (G major)
things were real tough up
in Porcupine (C major) Bluff back (G major) in 1903, (D major)
and the (G major) worth of a man was
the (C major) axe in his hand
and the (A major) back that could tell a tree. (D major)
On a (G major) day cold and damp,
he strode into camp
and walked (C major) up to the straw boss, Mc (G major) Bee.
I think (C major) I'm that guy that you (G major) pray from the sky,
Pierre, (D major) or El Bonafide.
(G major)

Verse 2
It was (G major) held to be true
by the whole (C major) logging crew,
to be (G major) tougher was out of the ques (D major) tion.
And all (G major) were agreed
except one (C major) quite large Swede
by the (A minor) name (A major) of Ola E. Swen (D major) son.
Now (G major) only the Swede was
both par for his breed,
quiet (C major) and strong, quite frankly, (G major)
When you (C major) talked to Pierre,
his (G major) temper would flare.
In fact, (D major) he could get rather
cranky. (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major)
Well, one thing for sure was old (C major) Annie McClure
made a (G major) mighty fine brand of (D major) whiskey.
And (G major) as you might have guessed,
right in (C major) line with the rest
stood the (A major) Swede and Pierre Bonaparte.
(D major) Well, one night (G major) Pierre,
in a fit of despair,
drank most (C major) of the Gallimim's (G major) in cense.
And if noth (C major) ing to eat,
you'll admit (G major) quite a feat
Equaled (D major) only by Olaf and
Swen (G major) son (D major) (A major)
(E major) (A major)
That's enough of those songs,
like a (D major) bull I am strong
There's (A major) nobody here that can (E major) lick me
And (A major) one thing I think,
those sweet (D major) deals stink
That Pierre (B minor) or (B major) Al Bonafide
(E major) Now he (A major) may have been drunk
as he lay on his bunk
Calling (D major) Olaf things too strong to (A major) mention
Then you (D major) think you are true,
I'll (A major) break you in two
Should (E major) the choir preserve (A major) Mr.
Schwartz (D major) (A major) (E major)
(A major)
Now I couldn't swear,
cause (D major) I wasn't there
But (A major) I don't think that all of it's hearsay (E major)
The res (A major) ult of their fight
in the bunk (D major) house that night
Was the (E major) start of the St. Lawrence
Sea (A major) way (D major) (A major) (E major)
(A major) you
