For we're the boys that fear no noise Although we're far from home. Well we sailed around old Butler, and nothing did we fear Until we came to Sawmill Rift, and plunged against the pier. CHO: Now, Henry Lodge stood at the oar, his voice so firm and strong For when he struck the rock, by God, it almost knocked him down. CHO: There was one among our number, and his name was Little Moe He plunged right in among the logs and saved 'most all our clothes. Note: A book called Canoeing the Delaware River, Letcher, quotes the first verse, and attributes it to Robert "Boney" Quillan, "...a raftsman-poet of the nineteenth century. Place names are on the Delaware River in Pennsylvania, just above the New York border.
