Canadian Composer: Wade Hemsworth By: Emilio, Dave J. and Heather, With percussive accompaniment by Brian

Albert Wade Hemsworth was born in Brantford Ontario on October 23, 1916, and died at the age of 85 on January

As a Canadian folk singer and songwriter, he wrote a total of about 20 songs. Of these, three of his most famous were “The Wild Goose”, “The Black Fly Song”, & the “Log Driver’s Waltz”.

Though he learned guitar and banjo in his youth, it wasn’t until he was in the Royal Canadian Air Force, stationed in Newfoundland, that he discovered traditional music.

In 1956, he recorded his first album, which was a mix of traditional and original music. He released a songbook of his music in 1990, and finally recorded his second album featuring 16 of the songs from it in 1995, at the age of 79.

During the 1960’s, Hemsworth’s music was performed by the McGarrigle sisters, and their band called Mountain City Four. Hemsworth himself would sometimes perform with the group, though not as a member.

After his death in 2002, Adrienne Clarkson, the Governor General, said his songs were “ so much a part of our folklore and so familiar to us that we didn't realize anyone had written them.”

Dane Lanken, husband of Anna McGarrigle, said of Hemsworth: “ Hemsworth creates beautiful music, music that celebrates life lived fully, the fine old values of hard work and its rewards, the wilderness and its myriad wonders. It is... intensely Canadian music, created with a rawness and vitality that matches the wilderness it describes, captures it like a Tom Thompson [sic] painting.”

A couple of Hemsworth’s songs were made into short films for the National Film Board of Canada, including “The Black Fly Song”, that was an animated video with him singing the soundtrack.

Many of us grew up with another one of these films that used both real footage and animation techniques, and the McGarrigle sisters on vocals.

Please raise your voices with our rendition of the “Log Driver’s Waltz”!

If you ask any girl from the parish around What pleases her most from her head to her toes

She'll say, "I'm not sure that it's business of yours But I do like to waltz with a log driver".

For he goes birling down a-down white water That's where the log driver learns to step lightly

It's birling down, a-down white water A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely.

When the drive's nearly over, I like to go down And watch all the lads as they work on the river

I know that come evening they'll be in the town And we all like to waltz with a log driver.

For he goes birling down a-down white water That's where the log driver learns to step lightly

It's birling down, a-down white water A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely.

To please both my parents I've had to give way And dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers

Their manners are fine but their feet are of clay For there's none with the style of my log driver.

For he goes birling down a-down white water That's where the log driver learns to step lightly

It's birling down, a-down white water A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely.

Now I've had my chances with all sorts of men But none is so fine as my lad on the river

So when the drive's over, if he asks me again I think I will marry my log driver.

For he goes birling down a-down the white water That's where the log driver learns to step lightly

It's birling down, a-down white water A log driver's waltz pleases girls completely.
