	Men at Work

	i In fourteen hundred and ninety-two Bant Breaux and George Elliot they started a crew. They were jolly good fellows as ever you saw. And they landed us safely upon Moosehead Lake, Lovely fa-de-little-aro, sing tooral all day. 2 It's upon the Northwest Carry we met with the boss, And then we got on a spree, We built him a storehouse and likewise a camp, Lost one of our bold woodsmen all on that wild tramp, Lovely fa-de-little-aro, sing tooral all day. 3 He hired a man from Bangor, Maine, To swamp in our crew, Bill Williams by name, And when he got there, "Pm a chopper," said he, 'Bout the best he could do was to lodge every tree. Lovely fa-de-little-aro, sing tooral all day. 4 About five in the morning the cook would sing out, "Come, bullies, come, bullies, come, bullies, turn out." Oh, some would not mind him and back they would lay. Then it's "Jesus £L Christ, will you lay there all day!" Lovely fa-de-little-aro, sing tooral all day. [227]
