Lyrics:
Jones
come, city slickers, never swung no axe
listen to the glory of my lumberjacks
they do much more than cut trees down
risked our lives to save a tiny town

All
hey hi ho! look out below
twenty tons of timber heading down your way
hey hi ho! look at it go
that oughta do you till judgement day

Jones
log jams never ever took to river hogs
put many brave men in a grave of logs
i said, “we”ll never crack this on playing by the book
so i brought in a dancer and my cabin cook

All
hey hi ho! look out below
twenty tons of timber heading down your way
hey hi ho! look at it go
that oughta do you till judgement day

Madeleine 
when brute force failed, they asked me, “ma’am
“how would a woman break this log jam
i said, “men, it’s clear to me what you gotta do
find a force much mightier than all of you

All
hey hi ho! look out below
twenty tons of timber heading down your way
hey hi ho! look at it go
that oughta do you till judgement day

Leslie
Gooseneck River used to brooked no jams
till they choked it off with the Gooseneck dam
dynamite the dam and make mighty tide
send down a surge a water for the logs to ride

All
hey hi ho! look out below
twenty tons of timber heading down your way
hey hi ho! look at it go
that oughta do you till judgement day
