There are a couple of songs that for some reasons make me think about burning firewood. "Cold nights in Canada" by John Denver, "Restless" by Gordon Lightfoot, and "Night moves" by Bob Seger when he says "with Autumn closing in".
I'm sure you guys have some that remind you of the woodburning season....
Here's a favorite tune from the lumber camps, usually sung acapella; "The Lumberman's Alphabet"
Oh, A's for the Ax as you very well know.
B's for the boys as can swing 'em also.
C's for the cuttin', let now begin, and
D's for the danger we do stand in,
And how merry are we.
No mortal's on earth are as happy are we!
To me high derry, ho derry, hey derry down,
Give a shantyboy whisky, there's nothin' goes wrong!
E's for the echo that rings through the wood.
F's for the foreman that bosses the job.
G's for the grindstone we grind our ax on, and
H for the handle so smooth wore around........refrain.
I's for the iron we strike in the pine.
J's for the jobble (?) that's always inclined.
K's for keen edges we all has to keep, and
L's for the lice boys as o'er our shirts creep.......refrain
M's for the moss that we stog in our camps.
N's for the needle we sew in our pants.
O's for the Owl that screeches by night, and
P's for the tall pine that we do slay right..........refrain
Q's for the quarreling that we don't allow.
R's for the river where we make our bow.
S for the sled sills so stout and so strong, and
T for the big team as hauls 'em along..........refrain
U's for the uses we put ourselves to.
V's for the valleys we haul our logs through.
W's the woods that we leave in the spring.....
and now I've sung all that I'm going to sing.....
There's 3 more letters that won't come in rhyme,
so if you can tell me, please tell me in time........
and how merry I'll be etc.
