Self-written, picturing in my mind the lumberwoods horses and sleighs and snow. Title is from a quote from family lore: Rachel, to husband: "Away to the woods with you!" Rachel, I'm away to the woods, and I hope to never see your face again." My grandfather always said this when telling the stories of the old days, and we'd always laugh.

This traditional Folk song, from the New Brunswick lumberwoods, was sung to me by my Grandfather---he worked in the lumberwoods of NB when he was a teen. I'm playing the melody, pretty true to the way Gramp sang it to me.

Here is the singing version, sung by John Wesley Messer, circa 1977, at the age of 87 years old. Gramp grew up in Tweedside, NB, Canada, and worked in the lumberwoods. This is a song he always sang to us, and one which I play on the fiddle. Sorry for the poor quality.

This song was always sung to my by my Grandfather, John Wesley Messer. He was born in 1890 in Tweedside, New Brunswick, and worked in the lumberwoods as a teenager and young adult. He was a great fiddle player, and was double first cousin to Canadian icon Don Messer. In fact, my great-grandfather and 3 great uncles were instrumental in teaching a young Don the old traditional songs. Anyway, here I am, playing Joe Clarke. The words are as follows: Joe Clarke he drives the black team, Judd Harvey drives the bay. That roaring old Bill Paterson, he drives the span of gray. Blow ye winds in the morning and blow ye winds aye-o. Clear the way your running gear and blow, boys blow. The next comes the cook's team, the dandy of them all. He gets us up in the morning with a most un-Godly call. Hot buns and beans for breakfast, work hard or not all day. "It's good enough for you my boys, my team gets musty hay!" I played years ago, learning of tapes my brother and i made of Gramp playing and singing. After a long hiatus of about 20 years, I started playing this past January. I've been having a ball relearing the old song and a lot of new ones. I hope you enjoy!
