There's been a similar thread on the British trees mailing-list and
two versions of this song have been quoted:

Beechwood fires are bright and clear,

Taken from The Tree Book by J. Edward Milner
A different version .. .. .. sung by Robin Williamson, words traditional
(it sings better than it reads!)

The Woodcutters Song

Oak logs will warm you well




Great! I'd only got the one version Janet.

Never going to convince me to grow an ash tree in anything less than 4
acres with the ash at the bottom of the garden but I must go and beg
some wood off people who are unfortunate to have one (silly me, if you
have one, you get 34) of those trees in their garden
