[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.
