From Edith Fowke, Lumbering Songs from the Northern Woods, #6, pp.37-38.
Collected from O. J. Abbott of Hull, Quebec, August 1957.

Oh, come all you brisk young fellows that assemble here tonight,
Assist my bold endeavors while these few lines I write.
It's of a gang of shantyboys I mean to let you know,
They went up for Thomas Laugheren through storm, frost, and snow.
