[Chorus]
G
I will swing my axe, don't let the flames go down,
carve up some of that kind-liiiiing,
D G
There's plenty of wood around.
[Verse]
G
Well I've seen the devil's shadow, underneath the moon,
D G
Keep that fire a-goin’, the sun is comin’ soon.
[Chorus]
G
I will swing my axe, don't let the flames go down,
carve up some of that kind-liiiiing,
D G
There's plenty of wood around.
[Verse]
G
When I’m old and grey, and these two hands are worn ,
D G
Cross me over Jordan, Lord and I’ll keep Heaven warm.
[Chorus]
G
I will swing my axe, don't let the flames go down,
carve up some of that kind-liiiiing,
D G
There's plenty of wood around.
