The Song:
In order for it to feel more authentic, Beck filled out his Song Reader book with fragments of songs and melodies, as well as fictional album collections and made-up song titles. The back of "Saint Dude" lists five such albums. "A Lumber Lad's Love" is part of the The Manly Family Song Album, and is copyrighted.
Many of the titles on the back of "Saint Dude" are references to older sheet music, and "A Lumber Lad's Love" is one. I found a listing for it in an actual sheet music collection called Elmore Vincent's Lumber Jack Songs, with Yodel Arrangements!.
