Come all ye jolly shanty boys,

Come listen to my song.

It’s all about the shanties and how they get along.

They are a jolly crew of boys,

So merry and so fine,

Who while a way the winters a cutting down the pine.

The choppers and the sawyers they lay the timber low,

The skidders and the swampers,

They holler to and fro,

And then there come the loaders before the break of day.

Come load up the teams boys and to the woods a day.

The broken ice is floating,

And sunny is the day.

Three hundred big and strong men are wanted on the drive with cant hooks and with cant hooks and with jampike these noble men do go,

And risk their lives each springtime on some big stream you know,

come all ye jolly shanties listen to my song.

 

你們這些快活的棚戶區男孩，

來聽我的歌。

這是關於棚屋，以及他們如何相處。

他們是一群快樂的男生，

好快樂，很優秀，

他們在冬季砍松樹消磨時間。

伐木工人和鋸木工將木材放低，

集材絞車和搬運工，

他們來來回回發牢騷，

然後在休息之前，裝貨機來了。

男孩們跳上車，前往森林，就是一整天。

碎冰漂浮著，

陽光明媚的一天。

三百個高大強壯的男人想要帶著斜勾搭乘，有了鉤子和斜鉤，這些高貴的男人就會去，

每個春天都會冒著生命危險在大河上冒險，

你曉得，

來吧，你們這些快樂的棚戶區男孩聽我唱歌。
