| Although Vancouver |
Although Vancouver's a place that's pretty With lofty buildings and streets so level Though others praise it as a place to live in The land I left is to me still lovely It's far up north mid the sea and mountains The verdant island where I was brought up Where I had friends and where, in my youth I walked with pleasure its handsome hillsides. I see the sands at the edge of the ocean I see the cairn that's above the village The herd of cattle being driven homeward Whene'er the sun from my sight is sinking But it's my hope if alive and healthy That I will return to where I was youthful Where I'd find comfort among my dear ones I was so foolish the day I left there. |
