	*note：it has been said that the version
	Of this song done by dave van ronk is the one
	That inspired lanegan to record it.
	A shanty man's life
	Is a wearisome one
	Though some say it's free from care
	It's the swinging of an axe
	From morning 'till night
	In the forest wild and drear
	Transported as we are
	From a lady so fair
	To the banks of some lonely stream
	Where the wolf, bear, and owl
	Give a terrifying howl
	And disturb our nightly dreams
	Oh sleeping at night
	In our bunks without cheer
	While the cold winter winds do blow
	But as soon as the morning
	Star does appear
	To the wild woods we must go
	Had we ale, wine, or beer
	Our spirits far to cheer
	When we're in those woods so wild
	Where a glass of whiskey shone
	When we're in the woods alone
	For to pass away our long exile
	A shanty man's life
	Is a wearisome one
	Tho some say it's free from care
	It's the swinging of an axe
	From morning 'till night
	In the forest wild and drear
