CANADIAN PACIFIC - Capo 1
EI rode your ocean liner to BNew Foundland, where I Emade a living in an iron Bmine
When I gAot my fill I went to Nova BScotia, and I Efished them salty waters for a Btime
Passing Ethrough Prince Edward Island and New BBrunswick, I could Esee them rocks and cliffs of solid Bstone
Listening Ato the seagulls calling to each Bother, made me miss my darling and my distant Ehome....
Chorus
Canadian BPacific....carry me 3000 mEiles
Thru the valleys and the Aforests, Bto the sunshine of her Esmile
Cross the plains and rugged Bmountains, keep this wanderin' boy from Eharm
Canadian APacific..B...take me to my baby's Earms
EThe Atlantic disappeared on the Bhorizon, and EQuebec lay waiting for me down the Btrack
For Aawhile I drove a truck to keep from Bstarvin', in AOntario I was a lumberBjack
ManEitoba and Saskatchewan then Bfollowed, where the Ewheat fields and the old Red River Bflowed
In the Aquiet hours your whistle on the Bprairie, touched my Aheart and set my memories Baglow
I could Efeel the nearness of her warm , soft, Bkisses, when you Erolled into Alberta westward bBound
I worked Aon an oil rig to make some Bmoney, for a Eticket to the sweetest girl aBround
Pushing Eon past Lake Louise in all its Bsplendour, where the Etrees and Rockies touched the sky Babove
I got Ato British Columbia and Bheaven , on your tracks I made it back to my true Elove
Chorus
Canadian BPacific....carry me 3000 Emiles
Thru the valleys and the Aforests, Bto the sunshine of her Esmile
Cross the plains and rugged Bmountains, you kept this wanderin' boy from Eharm
Canadian APacificB.....you took me to my baby's Earms
Canadian BPacific....carry me 3000 Emiles.......   FADE
