CI rode your ocean liner to NewDmfoundland
Where I Ammade a living in an iron G7mine
When I Fgot my fill I went to Nova G7Scotia
And I D7fished the salty waters for a G7time
Passing Cthrough Prince Edward Island and New DmBrunswick
I could Amsee the rocks and cliffs of solid G7stone
Listening Fto the seagulls calling to each G7other
Made me miss my darling and my distant Chome
Canadian PaDmcific  G7carry me 3,000 Cmiles
Through the valleys and the Fforests
G7To the sunshine of her Csmile
Cross the plains and the rugged Dmmountains
G7Keep this wandering boy from Charm
Canadian FPacific G7take me to my baby's Carms
The Atlantic disappeared on the Dmhorizon
And AmQuebec lay waiting for me down the G7track
For a Fwhile I drove a truck to keep from G7starving
In D7Ontario I was a lumberG7jack
ManiCtoba and Saskatchewan then Dmfollowed
Where the Amwheat fields and the old Red River G7flowed
In the Fquiet hours your whistling on the G7prairie
Touched my heart and set my memories Caglow
I could feel the nearness of her warm sweet Dmkisses
When you Amrolled into Alberta westward G7bound
I worked Fon an oil rig to make some G7money
For a D7ticket to the sweetest girl G7around
CPushing on past Lake Louise in all its Dmsplendor
Where the Amtrees and Rockies touch the sky G7above
I got Fto British Columbia and G7heaven
On your track I made it back to my true Clove
Canadian PaDmcific  G7carry me 3,000 Cmiles
Through the valleys and the Fforests
G7To the sunshine of her Csmile
Cross the plains and the rugged Dmmountains
G7Keep this wandering boy from Charm
Canadian FPacific G7take me to my baby's Carms
