LUMBERMAN IN TOWN/ GO KEN GO “Go Ken Go” written for Ken Voorhees, by Lissa Schneckenburger song source: “The Maine Woods Songster” edited by Phillips Barry, 1939 When the lumberman comes down, every pocket bears a crown And he wanders some pretty girl to find If she is not too sly with her dark and rolling eye The lumberman is pleased to his mind (2x) Then the landlady comes in she is dressed so neat and trim And she looks just like an evening star She is ready to wait on him if she finds him in good trim Chalk him down for two to one at the bar (2x) The lumberman goes on till his money’s spent and gone And the landlady begins to frown With her dark and rolling eye this will always be her cry Lumberman it is time you were gone (2x) She gives him to understand there’s a boat to be a manned And away up the river he must go With good liquor and a song its go hitch your horses on Bid adieu to the girls of St John (2x) Then to the woods he’ll go with his heart so full of woe And he wanders from tree after tree Till six months have come and past he forgets it all at last It is time that I should have another spree (2x)
